Remember The Fappening? It was the massive leak of nude celebrity photos stolen from their iCloud accounts. The celebs condemned the hacks and called for stronger privacy procedures—and for empathy. But the Internet and empathy rarely go together, so it did its thing and continued on its merry, filthy way.

According to NBC News, the FBI found the man responsible for hacking the accounts in October 2014 in his home in Chicago by tracing a lone IP address back to the house. The IP address was used to crack around 600 unique iCloud accounts over 3,000 times between May 2013 and the end of August 2014, when The Fappening leak took place.
No one at the home was charged with any crimes, and no arrests were made. However, several hard drives, floppy disks, thumb drives, and a Kindle were confiscated, according to documents that were recently unsealed.
"Internet crimes" like The Fappening hacks are difficult to prosecute. An IP address is not a person, so an IP address cannot go on trial. The FBI only believes "someone in the house" could be involved. And the defense here is easy: someone else could have hopped on their Wi-Fi network and perpetrated the hacks without anyone knowing.
That could be difficult to believe in this case considering the amount of account break-ins that occurred over such a long period of time. Assuming someone in the Chicago house did do it, they did a terrible job covering their tracks by not hiding that IP address. Plus, Apple probably should have noticed one IP address accessing that many accounts for so long.
Apple recently announced at WWDC that it will add two-factor authentication to iCloud in hopes of preventing any further hacks. Better late than never.
