4chan explodes after user allegedly cracks Hunter Biden's iCloud (The Daily Dot)

Users on 4chan claim to have cracked Hunter Biden's latest iCloud password, releasing new photos of the president's son.

It’s also unclear if the data released is real. While there’s no proof to back that up, Biden did allegedly go by Peter Henderson in contact with his son. This iPhone release, however, is allegedly different from the data on Hunter’s laptop.

Alleged Hunter Biden Leak Shows iCloud Can Be iPhone Security's ... (VICE)

iCloud doesn't have to be dangerous, as long as you use the right precautions and security mechanisms.

Motherboard sent a request for comment to the email address allegedly belonging to Hunter that is contained in the 4chan screenshots. And it’s an avenue that, in theory, is easier to exploit than targeting your iPhone directly (where data is encrypted by default), or trying to get the phone’s backup that’s only stored on a hard drive or computer. In a video that shows how the tool works, the company says that a user can just input the iCloud credentials into the software to then explore and recover files from the cloud backup. This wouldn’t be the first time hackers used software to access data on an iPhone to get their hands on sensitive personal information. The leak went viral on 4chan, where a user claimed to have hacked into Hunter’s iCloud backup and then used a tool that allows users to recover files from Apple’s cloud backup site. The alleged data contained emails with between Hunter and his dad, and photos of him allegedly doing crack and having sex.

Fact Check: Do Screengrabs Prove Google Censored Hunter Biden ... (Newsweek)

When Hunter Biden's iCloud account was allegedly hacked and leaked on social media, some claimed Google censored the story.

The disclaimer used by Google was introduced to warn users about new and trending stories which may not have been verified by a wide range of sources. Crucially, this means the search results about Hunter Biden have not been censored in their entirety. The tweets give the misleading impression that all stories about the "leak" are being censored by Google. This is not true. Were Republicans to secure the House majority in the upcoming midterm elections, it is feasible there will be even further scrutiny of the president son's affairs. Recently some of its employees were reportedly furious by its decision to remove a voting app designed to organize opposition against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Posts on social media claim the account was hacked, which revealed compromising data, photos and video.

'Despite what the SAR might say, or what the speculation can be, you have to prove beyond reasonable doubt in court. Moreva followed up with Hunter over his escort debts a month after the January 2019 tryst. He spent thousands of dollars from his joint account with his ex-wife Kathleen, who divorced him in 2017 So just because a SAR is filed doesn't necessarily mean it's going to get investigated. 'Millions of SARs are filed every year. Which is reason why I have been unable to take care of this to begin with. In January 2019, Hunter texted Moreva (Eva) asking for eight more hours with the women.

Secret Service says it's 'aware' of alleged Hunter Biden iCloud hack (NBC News)

The Secret Service said Monday it's "aware" of a potential hack of an iCloud owned by Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.

A representative for Biden said in May he's paid off all of his tax responsibilities to the IRS, but legal experts have said that wouldn't necessarily spare him from any potential criminal liability. A Giuliani representative provided NBC with a copy of the drive earlier this year. NBC News was not able to immediately get access to the material and it is not yet possible to determine if the purported copy of the iCloud account was current or if it comes from material that has previously been reviewed by NBC and other news organizations.

Hunter Biden's iCloud Account Allegedly Hacked by 4chan User (Snopes.com)

A "data dump" supposedly revealed the contents of an iCloud account associated with an iPhone and iPad owned by U.S. President Joe Biden's son, Hunter.

In the past, there have been no shortage of rumors surrounding Hunter’s personal activities, included alleged drug use and videos with sexual activity. (For example, earlier today we debunked a doctored photograph unrelated to the 4chan leak that was apparently being circulated as a “counter-meme” to discredit that leak. The thread also contained other names and various unconfirmed conspiracy theories about several different figures. At this stage, we advise readers to take individual rumors and memes that appear to be blooming out of this alleged hack with a grain of salt. The 4chan thread was first posted around July 8 on the /pol/ board on the website, a board named “Politically Incorrect.” The title of the 4chan thread was, “Hunter Biden offline iPhone Backup.” The post and its comments included various unverified allegations, some of which were lurid. The 4chan message board is abuzz with unverified claims that Hunter Biden’s iCloud account was hacked and compromised, supposedly making available various files from an iPhone and an iPad belonging to the son of U.S. President Joe Biden.

The Hunter Biden 4Chan Leak Has Tucker Carlson and the Far ... (VICE)

A 4Chan user claims to have hacked and leaked the contents of the President's son's iCloud.

Two years later, “Hunter Biden’s laptop” remains a shorthand among Trump sycophants to describe nefarious—but completely unproven—actions by the president. This leak comes two years after the New York Post claimed to have obtained a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive, which he left at a Delaware repair shop. “But it’s pretty obvious that the materials that we’ve looked at are real,” he added, echoing a view shared across Trumpworld in recent days.

Hunter Biden phone hack claims test platforms' misinformation policies (The Verge)

After a 4Chan user claimed to have access to sensitive videos and images from Hunter Biden's iCloud account, search and social media platforms have ...

“There is no manual triggering involved ... Our automated search systems don’t understand the political ideology of content, and it’s not a ranking factor for search results.” “As the most powerful arbiter of information online in the US, Google has a responsibility to prioritize high-quality information,” Dreyfuss said. When the story was first released in 2020 — just a month before the presidential election — Facebook and Twitter both restricted sharing of the URL on the platforms, citing the need to limit the spread of potentially false information. Twitter has a policy that prohibits the sharing of materials obtained by hacking, and while the hashtag #HunterBiden was listed as trending at the start of the week, it no longer seemed to be a visible trending topic on Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Secret Service said on Monday evening that it was aware of the alleged hack but was “not in a position to make public comments on potential investigative actions.” Over the weekend, users of 4Chan’s /pol/ messageboard were whipped into a frenzy of excitement by one poster claiming to have hacked into Hunter Biden’s phone.

Online Photo Does Not Show Hunter Biden with Underage Girls (Snopes.com)

Following the alleged hacking of Hunter Biden's iCloud account, a picture was passed around that showed a man on a couch surrounded by five young girls.

For further reading, we previously reported on another photograph that supposedly came out of the iCloud story. At this stage, we advise readers to take individual rumors and memes that appear to be blooming out of this alleged hack with a grain of salt. However, in truth, there was no evidence that the picture showed Biden’s son, nor did any data point to the photograph having come from a recent alleged iCloud account hack. Additionally, we noticed that at least one conspiratorial tweet about the miscaptioned picture that was posted by @WEFareCriminals also disappeared. Data from Google Trends showed that some users may have been looking for more information about this particular photograph with queries about sex trafficking and prostitution. According to social media posts, the image was recently leaked as part of a data dump after a 4chan message board user allegedly hacked Hunter Biden’s iCloud account.
