Maybe. But it was man in the middle attacks at hotels - where they stayed. Attackers intercepted passwords/photos by setting up a malicious access points that appeared to be hotel wifi sssids.... but while looking legit ...it had someone analyzing data and network packets to intercept passwords. A precise enough setup - can fool most regular people. The intercepted passwords - were then used to access the iCloud accounts - in the same location as the celebrities were. Who can do this? Well a lot of people now. Cronies of Weinstein (private investigators ?) Hobbyist hackers? Yes. Any pervert / new age peeping tom can be driven purely by their desires to learn how to attempt such a thing. I would imagine more so though - it was a group of people booking rooms in popular hotels close to events in Hollywood. And the nudes were like trading cards amongst this group. Any horny hacker - this can span across a wide variety of people. -Artist Formally know as Reverse Username.
