August 14, 2014 on Twitter former prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, a loud statement of resignation appeared. False Dmitry admitted that he was ashamed of the actions of the government, so he was forced to leave. In separate tweets, the hacker talked about access to wi-fi with a passport and shared his dream of becoming a freelance photographer. In addition, on behalf of Medvedev, hackers subscribed to the pages of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, journalist Roman Dobrokhotov, and the Humpty Dumpty blog blocked in Russia.
Secret correspondence with insults to Angelina Jolie
In December 2014, hackers hacked into the servers of the Sony Pictures Entertainment film company and leaked the correspondence of Sony co-chairman Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin to the Network.
The messages are about the film "Cleopatra" with Angelina Jolie, and the producer predicts the collapse of the project through the fault of the actress.
“I have absolutely no interest in doing a 180 million project to amuse Jolie, because such a film will destroy our careers. I'm not going to suffer because of a minimally gifted and spoiled child, says Rudin. “I will not work with her or anyone she chooses. She is just a star, nothing more, and because of such a project, you should not become a universal laughing stock. Better ask Jolie to shut up.
Also, various documents of poor Jolie were leaked to the Network: passport data, accounts, passwords and other secret information stored in Sony Pictures Entertainment computers.
Later at The Hollywood Reporter breakfast, Amy Pascal tried to hug Angelina Jolie, but she glared at the producer.
Compromising material on the mercantile David Beckham
In February 2017, hackers demanded a million euros from football player David Beckham for not disclosing information. He refused to pay, and cyber scammers leaked his correspondence. From the athlete's personal letters it followed that Beckham was doing charity work to get a knighthood! Since 2005, David has been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, but the title seemed to tire him. “To be honest, this is a humiliation. If I were an American, I would have been knighted 10 years ago,” David wrote to one of his friends. Beckham also spoke rudely to the lords who did not assist him, and refused to transfer a million dollars to organize a UNICEF dinner in Shanghai.
Beckham confirmed the authenticity of the correspondence, but assured reporters that these messages were written in the heat of the moment. The football player admitted that he does not care about the title of knight and he will continue to work with UNICEF.
Threats to Anfisa Chekhova
Anfisa Chekhova was not at a loss when, in October 2015, criminals gained access to her Instagram. The hackers threatened to post personal photos on the Web if the star did not pay 300 thousand rubles. The criminals posted a message on the TV presenter's page: “In 6 hours we will publish your personal photos here. Decide yourself. The countdown has started." As it turned out later, the hackers managed to take over the TV presenter's account when she connected to an unverified Wi-Fi. During the connection, a window appeared on the screen asking you to enter your Instagram login password, which Anfisa did. This turned out to be a mistake - the hacker program immediately wrote them down. But the hackers did not have time to carry out their plans: and Anfisa quickly returned access to the social network.
Aleksey Fedorov, head of the representative office of the antivirus company Avast in Russia and the CIS, argues that in no case should you pay extortionists. Firstly, there is no guarantee that the ransom will stop attackers, and secondly, the reward will encourage hackers to continue to act.
How to protect yourself from hacking and leakage of personal data: rules from Avast specialists
Create strong passwords
Give up one password for all accounts. Do not use configurations that can be picked up by examining your social networks. For example, the name and date of birth of the child, the name of the dog, and so on. Choose complex and long passwords with numbers, symbols and uppercase letters. There are applications for generating and storing passwords securely. The program itself will create strong passwords for each account and will allow you to easily change them. All that the user will need to remember is the password to enter this program.
Use two-factor authentication
For security reasons, many companies have introduced a two-factor authentication function - when you enter your login and password, a one-time password is sent to your mobile or mail, which you must enter to enter your account.
Often, users themselves provide access to their devices by following untrusted links and opening suspicious files. When this happens, malware is installed on the device, and it is far from always possible to track it down. For example, cybercriminals often hide program icons or mask them on the device to make it difficult to remove malware. These programs have different goals: they can wait until you enter a banking application. In addition, hackers have access to almost any information on a smartphone.
Download apps from trusted sources
Installing software from untrusted sources can lead to trouble. With the help of malicious software, you can steal personal data, as well as cause serious damage to the device. Choose trusted app stores like App Store and Google Play.
Change your router username and password
Often, users leave the default login and password - from the manufacturer of the router, and this is a big mistake, since standard passwords can be easily found on the Internet. After receiving data from your home router, a hacker can connect to the devices that the router is connected to. One step - and the attacker has your entire media library. One more step - and you have a keylogger installed that records all actions, including entering logins and passwords. If you suspect your router has been hacked, restart your device and update your credentials.
Be careful when connecting to public Wi-Fi
One of the most common hacking schemes is the installation of free Wi-Fi hotspots. The generosity of attackers is explained very simply: when a user connects to Wi-Fi, a hacker gains access to his device. To avoid being hacked, use reliable VPN services that will hide you from the cyber eyes of intruders.

Celebrities are people too, they send to lovers intimate photos without fear that they may become public. The stars are suing the hackers, but millions of people by that time will already be able to open the door to the frank life of a celebrity. What do you store in your mobile memory?
1. Analy Tipton - actress, fashion model, former figure skater
2. Lena Meyer - German singer
3. Emma Stone is an actress. This is all that the hackers managed to steal from her phone, but even this for the heroine of "Harry Potter" can become unforgivable
4. Host Victoria Yakubovskaya. Hackers also stole more explicit photos of her, which spoiled her relationship with the producer of the shows in which she participates.
5. Actress Amanda Seyfried was also attacked. Photos of her having fun with boyfriend stolen from iCloud
6. Actress Jennifer Lawrence
7. Yulia Kovalchuk also sins by sending intimate photos, for which she paid the price
8. Avril Lavigne keeps pretty harmless photos on her phone.
9. The famous photo of Scarlett Johansson, the criminal who stole it, was sentenced to 1 year in prison
There is a big scandal going on in Hollywood. More than twenty film actresses, including celebrities such as Kirsten Dunst and Jennifer Lawrence, have tried their hand at the porn industry. And against their will. from their smartphones. A story about what was among these pictures.
Today, none of the "stars" admits that they gave their candid photos and videos on purpose to the public, for everyone to see. Such juicy footage is purely the result of computer hacking - this version sounds extremely convincing. Say, well, who in their right mind would put their homemade porn on the net? Jennifer Lawrence - the star of the "Hunger Games" - they say about her that the actress did not even get naked for expensive glossy magazines. And not every magazine will be able to print these home pictures. For moral reasons, not because of poor quality. And the official representative of the actress is outraged.
“This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities are already aware of what happened and will pursue anyone who posts stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence in the public domain,” he is indignant.
The selfie genre, known as the selfie, has infected literally everyone like a virus. Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Kirsten Dunst, Selena Gomez, Victoria Justice. Actresses, singers, world television stars. Why they did it is of little interest. For myself, for loved one or for something else? The main thing is that they talk about it. . The reaction of the stars is also an element of discussion. Victoria Justice, for example, immediately declared: "it's not me."
“This so-called nudity with me is fake people. I want to crush this rumor in a bud,” she said.
Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, on the contrary, admitted - of course, this photo is from my personal archive. Which, by the way, was allegedly erased from the computer a long time ago.
"Knowing that these photos were deleted a very long time ago, I can only guess what terrible efforts were put into this. I sympathize with everyone who was hacked. For those of you who look at the pictures that I took with my husband many years ago in an intimate the atmosphere of our house - I hope you are very pleased with yourself, "says the actress.
But in all these stories, one small but important factor can be traced. None of the so-called did not occur at a time when this star was at the peak of fame. On the contrary, a scandal arises at a time when one or another star "faded". When her admirers "have not seen for a long time." Photos may be real. And they were in personal phones. But the big question is who brought God into the world? Computer experts believe that hacking is possible. For example, if the owner of the files started a virtual cloud on the Web. That is, remote file storage.
Hacking, if the criminal, of course, is caught, is punished severely in the West. A cyberbully who stole personal photos of actress Scarlett Johansson was found and imprisoned for 10 years. But any computer security specialist will say that the passion for "self-nudity" is probably not a vice. But to keep this "nudity" in devices that you barely understand - that's really, undisguised naivety.
A hacker hacked into the stars' iCloud accounts and took possession of their personal information, including explicit photos and videos. As it turned out, many celebrities keep them in their smartphones.
These shots began to appear on the network the night before: the hacker decided to make a business on the stolen pictures and, having shown some of them, offers to show the public more in exchange for bitcoins (digital currency).

Lawrence's spokesman said: "This is a gross violation of the right to privacy. We have already contacted the relevant authorities: anyone who publishes stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence will be punished,” notes hollywoodreporter.com.
The hackers also posted candid photos of Kirsten Dunst, Teresa Palmer, fashion models Kate Upton, Bar Refaeli, two-time Olympic football champion Hope Solo and many other stars on the network.
Among the victims of a cyberattack on Hollywood celebrities was the future wife of Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko, actress Hayden Pannetier.
iCloud accounts are designed so that iPad, iPhone and Mac users can sync calendars, photos, settings and other data on their gadgets. The service has been repeatedly criticized for its unreliability.
Earlier this year, Jennifer Lawrence herself complained about the inconvenience of iCloud in an interview with MTV: “My iCloud keeps telling me to back up, and I’m like, I don’t know how to back up. Do it yourself,” notes Gazeta.Ru.
The first case of such an attack on the stars occurred in 2005, when hackers managed to gain access to the phone of Paris Hilton and download photos from there. Then the attackers managed to gain access to the phone by answering a secret question, as the answer to which the socialite chose the name of her dog.
The largest leak of star intimate photos, called The Fappening, did not go unnoticed by fans. Sympathizers of the victims of the leak publish in in social networks own intimate photos tagged with #leakforjlaw.

Although the earnings of both spouses make it possible to hire a housekeeper ... After persuasion, Buzova's mother switched to pure pragmatism.
A little later, Olga's younger sister joined the discussion.
In addition to mom and sister, the TV presenter found another comforter. It turned out to be the famous showman Dmitry Nagiyev, with whom Olga has been talking for a long time. Messages contain profanity.
