Some people no doubt engage in victim blaming, but I don't think that's what's generally going on here. For instance, I don't think anyone would disagree that the individuals that made those photos public should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The world contains bad actors, and we should be having conversations about what are the reasonable steps people should take to protect themselves. The fact that this happened, and that it could easily happen again, suggests that we should take additional care with sensitive data on our phones. Maybe an app for encrypting sensitive photos and that requires a password to access?

Yes, people should feel safe in their tech. People should also feel safe in their homes, but most everyone still have locks, and many people additional layers of security.
