A hack has allegedly leaked a massive number of naked pictures of celebrities online, including photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, and Ariana Grande.
A thread on the notorious website 4Chan contained the pictures.
The photos were allegedly obtained by an iCloud leak that allowed the phones of the celebrities to be hacked.
The hacker is also claiming to have some explicit videos, though the user hasn’t posted them.
The celebrities that are allegedly victims of the hack include Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Brie Larson, Aubrey Plaza, Gabrielle Union, Hillary Duff, Kristen Dunst, Mary Kate Olsen, Misty Treanor, Selena Gomez, and Vanessa Hudgens.
Among the photos are less graphic pictures in which the women have clothes on. Many of these ones were posted to Reddit’s image website Imgur.
Some reports are indicating that the user(s) behind the hack could be in for some trouble, because authorities have been cracking down on similar hacks lately.
For instance, police in Florida arrested Christopher Chaney, a 35-year-old who released pictures of a number of celebrities, including Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis. Police said he hacked emails to obtain accounts that enabled him to leak pictures.
Some celebrities have spoken out saying that the photos are fake, while at least one other has confirmed that they’re real.
Victoria Justice took to Twitter to deny that the pictures included in the leak are of her.
“These so called nudes of me are FAKE people,” she said.
This whole thing became a game where people want to post pics, others want them and the celibrities don't want them online and threaten with lawsuits. Stars claim pictures are fake and hackers want to prove they are genuine. See pic
