What You Can Learn From the Biggest Celebrity Photo Hacks

Kate Upton, Lea Michele, Jennifer Lawrence, and many other prominent celebrities have had their personal photos hacked and leaked out to the public. The iCloud hack was especially troubling because users thought that their photos were safe, when in reality their pictures would have been more secure if stored somewhere else. The hack undermined people’s trust in iCloud storage and also caused many to question whether or not their photos and information were safe in other cloud-based storage as well.

Fortunately though, there is something you can do to keep your photos safe. DFNDR has a Private Gallery feature that will keep your private photos safe from prying eyes. All you have to do is pick your photos, set a secure password and store the photos in your new, password-protected gallery. If celebrities aren’t safe from hackers, the chances are that you aren’t either. Click here to take advantage of DFNDR’s Private Gallery now:

More About a Private Gallery

First of all, the photos that you select for placement in a Private Gallery won’t show up in the main photo gallery on your phone. Any photos that you add to the Private Gallery will be removed from your regular photo gallery. This goes for WhatsApp photos, too. Thanks to the Private Gallery, you won’t have to worry about swiping quickly past your private pictures when you’re showing someone another picture on your phone. In order to have the photos appear in your regular gallery again, you must remove them from the Private Gallery.

Second of all, the Private Gallery is password-protected, which means that you don’t have to worry about someone accessing your photos under any circumstances. Losing your phone can be scary, but now there’s one fewer thing you have to worry about, whether you leave your phone in the breakroom at work, or if it gets stolen. With a Private Gallery, your private photos will be safe and accessible by no one other than you.

Needless Worry

Many people have a lot of pictures that they don’t mind sharing with others. People share pictures every day on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but there are also a few photos that are intended only for us or for our loved ones. When cyberattacks occur, we all become uneasy and worry about whether our photos and other personal information are safe in online cloud storage, social media, and email. With DFNDR’s Private Gallery, these worries can be a thing of the past. Click below to create your password-protected gallery now:
