Not exactly.
In the case of someone like Kate Upton her body is her primary asset. From a purely business perspective she should take any and all reasonable actions to preserve her image...just like Warren Buffet should protect his financial documents. Yeah, she got hacked and the hacker took something of value from her so he (presumably a "he") should be held accountable if caught but she should also be more cautious about what she does with imagery that might negatively impact her marketability.
Well I'm sure she will be. But the point here is that this hacking ability is scary. Sure, this time it's some naked pictures, and you can avoid that next time by not having naked pictures. But that doesn't really solve the problem at hand. People are going to use computers and cell phones. They are a necessity today. So how can we make sure our sensitive information will be secure? It's unreasonable to expect everyone stop online banking, shopping online, filing their taxes online, or storing financial documents electronically.
