One of Anon-IB's rippers who uses the handle cloudprivates wrote in an email to WIRED that he or she doesn't consider downloading files from an iCloud backup "hacking" if it's done on behalf of another user who supplies a username and password. “Use the script to hack her e eppb to download the backup,” wrote one anonymous user on Anon-IB explaining the process to a less-experienced hacker. And as of Tuesday, it was still being used to steal revealing photos and post them on Anon-IB’s forum.
