Advice:
There is no silver bullet to protect yourself from malvertising.

You forgot to quote the rest..!!

At a minimum:
- Enable click-to-play in your browser. This prevents 3rd party plugins from executing automatically.
- Keep all plugins running in the browser up-to-date using tools like Secunia PSI.
- Consider turning off unneeded plugins if you don’t use them. For example, Java can be installed without the web-plugin component lowering the risk of exploitation and infection.

You are correct Lisandro. Some of these poses would have been much more exciting to watch in person.
Maybe some day people will realize that anything posted on the net is or, will eventually become everyone's business.

How would android protect you better when it was a cloud service that was infiltrated "not a phone" plus icloud itself wasn't attacked or corrupted in any way as it was illegally gained passwords that was the issue.

Most celebrities passwords can be worked out just by the amount of information given on Wikipedia... mother - father - favourite pet etc etc.

For me it doesn't matter what OS/phone you use, stick it on the cloud and you risk it being hacked into. If you wouldn't want anyone to see/steal/hack it, then don't upload it in the first place.
