While we’re not entirely sure how the recent theft of several celebrities

private photos was carried out, the

leading theory places the blame on a vulnerability in iCloud

, Apple

s Internet storage system.

Specifically, one such theory goes, the hacker (or hackers) was able to nail down the iCloud passwords of the celeb victims and root around in their Apple storage lockers after gaining access. The responsible party

may have used a tool called iBrute

,

according to The Daily Dot

, which exploited a (since-fixed) iCloud bug that allowed a forced digital entry by guessing several common passwords until the correct one unlocked the front door.

See Yahoo Tech’s complete coverage of the

Celebgate hacking scandal right here

.

It hasn

t been confirmed that iBrute was used; the tool

s creator sees no evidence that it was, but

concedes that it

s possible

. iBrute used 500 of the most common passwords that were leaked from a service called RockYou, which leaked out 32 million usernames and passwords way back in 2009; the tool’s creators posted those passwords in a long list on

the developer site GitHub

.

We’ve listed the 500 common passwords below. The passwords that iBrute worked with included one capital letter and one number, so old standbys like “password” and “iloveyou” do not appear here.

Even though these passwords are from 2009, the Great Celebrity Hack of 2014 serves as another reminder that if you use any of the following 500 passwords on any service, it’s way past time for a change.

Oh, and while you’re at it, you should make sure that

you have two-factor authentication

enabled on any account that offers it, and make sure you’re using as strong a password as possible by reading my

colleague Rafe Needleman’s guide to creating an uncrackable one here

. Be safe out there, everyone.
