It doesn't matter what the photos are, what matters is that people have a right to privacy and no one has the right to publish them without the consent of the individual. The fact that there are individuals that take some sort of perverted pleasure and gratification in someone else's misfortunate is disturbing.
Its just shabby voyuerism by the internet rather than looking through the key hole or peaking through the curtains. How would you feel if you caught someone invade your wife or daughter's privacy by watching them undress? Is it their fault that they didn't take better precautions to protect their privacy or the pervert trying to get a look? New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

Quite the opposite unfortunately. Everyone should believe that their data is NOT safe.
Whilst the actual existence of these particular images hasn't been proven yet, storing anything in the Cloud and, from a lay person's perspective, expecting them to be secure is a big mistake. The rights or wrongs of whether you think intimate images should even exist is up to the individual. Likewise, blaming the victim for the crime is wrong. However, you cannot abdicate from your own responsibility to make sure they are secure. And herein lies a problem. The subject of the alleged photographs may not have been the owner of the data, and therefore has no control over what happens to it.
In an ideal world, no one would hack into an account, but we live in a world which is far from ideal.
The way I answer the question I am asked on a regular basis of whether Cloud storage is secure enough for a particular dataset is to ask a question in return, "Would you like to store it on MY computer?". The usual answer is no, but then I point out that the questioner knows more about my trustworthiness than that of any of the Cloud providers. There are two rules for success,
1. Never tell everything you know.

I don't question peoples right to privacy, but I do think it's particularly naive to allow intimate photos to be taken and if such photos exist, then to believe they are safe from prying eyes.
