German newspapers on Tuesday ridiculed incoming EU Digital Commissioner Günther Oettinger after he blamed "stupid" celebrities for having their private nude pictures hacked aIndustrie Router und Modemnd spread online.
A trove of revealing "selfies" and other images of stars and models havebeen snatched from Apple's iCloud and posted online in recent weeks in whatthe tech giant has called a "targeted attack".
Oettinger, Germany's EU Commissioner, was asked about the scandal in a Brussels hearing. He replied: "If acelebrity is stupid enough to take a nude photo of themselves and put it onthe Internet, then they can't expect us to protect them. "There is a limit to how far you can protect people against their ownstupidity," he saidon Monday. News site Spiegel Online said the comment showed that the 60-year-old -who currently holds the energy commissioner's post - "has not understood theaffair about hacked celebrity images" and judged that "the new post may be toochallenging for him". It pointed out that the encrypted image fIndustrie LTE Routeriles are automatically sent bysmartphones into the data "cloud" as a backup, and that the images were stolenby criminals. Spiegel Online added that Oettinger's comment reflected the notion that "ifyou use the Internet, you have yourself to blame". The Hamburger Abendblatt also called the comment a "faux pax" whilebusiness daily Handelsblatt said the reply showed that "Oettinger lacked therequired technical expertise" on online privacy protection.
