It certainly looks like multiple leakers and multiple sources. There are various "official" bitcoin addresses, connected to different leaked content. Most of it looks pretty amateurish. Probably after the first guy started getting paid for leaked files, a bunch of other script kiddies jumped in.

I'd agree with that - on the press flaming that Apple are getting though - Im just not buying it. Really feels more like a cloud storage hack than iCloud, right?
Edit: Apple has confirmed that it was breached and celebrities were targeted. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/apple-confirms-c...

Some of the leaks do look like iCloud backups though. Videos don't get uploaded to Apple's "photo stream" so it would have to be an iCloud backup or, less likely, a local backup that was uploaded to Dropbox. Right now it "feels like" a lot of different leaks and leakers jumping on 4chan and demanding bitcoins for their own little dumps.
