The thousands of archived posts in its “/stol/” section, devoted to discussion of how to crack iCloud and steal unwitting victims’ compromising selfies, have been deleted. Those posts have been replaced with new ones from frustrated hackers lamenting that their sext-stealing hobby isn’t what it used to be.

One new article link has been added to our Related News page. Engadget published an article titled Artist convinces people to sell their private data for a cookie.
Talking to ProPublica, the artist revealed that people were happy to sign away their name, address, driver’s license number, phone number and their mother’s maiden name. As part of the deal, Puno also took pictures of each candidate, and in some cases asked for (and got) fingerprints and the last four digits of what people claimed was their social security number. If anyone asked what she planned to do with the information, the artist pointed to a terms and conditions sheet written in impossibly small text mirroring the sort we routinely ignore when we sign up to a new website.

One new article link has been added to our Related News page. The Washington Post published an article titled Apple will no longer unlock most iPhones, iPads for police, even with search warrants.
The key is the encryption that Apple mobile devices automatically put in place when a user selects a passcode, making it difficult for anyone who lacks that passcode to access the information within, including photos, e-mails and recordings. Apple once maintained the ability to unlock some content on devices for legally binding police requests but will no longer do so for iOS 8, it said in the new privacy policy.
“Unlike our competitors, Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data,” Apple said on its Web site. “So it’s not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8.”

He added: “We are considering a number of further options to deter drivers.”
