Apple said Tuesday that some celebrity accounts were compromised in a "targeted attack" on passwords but that it has found no signs of a breach of its iCloud storage system.
"After more than 40 hours of investigation, we have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the Internet," Apple said in its first statement since the release of private, nude pictures of dozens of celebrities.
