Apparently Ricky got a little backlash for saying on Twitter, even though it was a joke:
"Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on your computer. "
He went on to say it was a joke, after a lot of people moaned.
But I think he has a point.
It's not like you can just say, "Please hackers, don't hack my shit." Because they'll do it anyway, but if you take your own steps (like not uploading things to Clouds, not sending sex videos to boyfriends who are arseholes and getting a good firewall on your computer) they won't find anything worth uploading.
It's not like he was blaming the victims, he was just pointing out that you have no control over what a hacker does, but you DO have control over what he finds.
I do have sympathy for people who have been hacked though, if I took naked pics they'd be awful >.< :D
It's wrong what they've done and I don't think it's going to be a rare occurrence these days, unfortunately.
