"Apple has released an official statement about the leaked nude photos of stars including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, which were apparently taken from the celebs&amp;apos; personal accounts. The company claims that the attack was a targeted one, and that there has not been a &amp;quot;breach&amp;quot; of either iCloud or Find My iPhone.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;When we learned of the theft, we were outraged and immediately mobilized Apple&amp;apos;s engineers to discover the source,&amp;quot; the tech giant said in the Sept. 2 statement. &amp;quot;Our customers&amp;apos; privacy and security are of utmost importance to us.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe statement goes on to note that engineers have spent more than 40 hours investigating the leak. &amp;quot;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,&amp;quot; the company said. &amp;quot;None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple&amp;apos;s systems including iCloud or Find my iPhone.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWhich is not to say the inspection is over. Far from it, in fact. Apple said in its update that the company would continue to work with law enforcement to &amp;quot;help identify the criminals involved,&amp;quot; who are now being targeted by the FBI.\r\n\r\nAs previously reported, a representative for the Federal Bureau of Investigation told the Associated Press on Monday that the agency was &amp;quot;aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individual, and is addressing the matter.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
