Storing your photos on an iCloud account can be a risky business. If you don’t believe us, just ask Jennifer Lawrence.
But although Katniss continues to curse “the fappening” (and millions of hormonal teen boys rejoice in it), Apple’s photo storing service can also serve the forces of law and order – especially when it comes to catching incredibly thick criminals.
That’s what happened in Houston last month when two thieves stole a man’s iPad and some money, then took grinning selfies on the iPad while fanning the stolen money out. Unfortunately for them, the iPad was connected to the Wi-Fi at a nearby Starbucks and the photos immediately synced to the owner’s account.
He then shared the images with the media and the photos ended up online, which helped the authorities identify and catch the supremely stupid suspects.
