If you’re Victoria Justice, Emily Browning, Kate Bosworth, Jenny McCarthy and Kate Upton among others, you’re not having a very good day. I say that because the news is out that those celebrities have allegedly had their iCloud accounts hacked and nude photos are now floating around the Internet. Here’s what Mashable had to say:
Early word of the images began spreading on 4Chan earlier in the day, where posters claimed that the images were the result of a hacker intrusion on a number of iCloud accounts and cell phones and that the images included nude celebrities such as Victoria Justice, Emily Browning, Kate Bosworth, Jenny McCarthy and Kate Upton.
In addition to Lawrence, these are the biggest names on the list posted to 4Chan of alleged victims of the iCloud leak:
Aly and AJ Michalka, Aubrey Plaza, Abby Elliott, Avril Lavigne, Amber Heard, Brie Larson, Candice Swanepoel, Cara Delevigne, Emily Ratjakowski, Farrah Abraham, Gabrielle Union, Hayden Pannettiere, Hope Solo, Hillary Duff, Jenny McCarthy, Kayley Cuoco, Kate Upton, Kate Bosworth, Keke Palmer, Kim Kardashian, Kirsten Dunst, Krysten Ritter, Lea Michele, Lizzy Caplan, Mary Kate Olsen, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rihanna, Scarlet Johansson, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Wynona Ryder, Alison Brie and Dave Franco.
Lovely. Some of these celebrities have said that the photos that have been leaked are faked, others have confirmed that the photos are real. Regardless, to keep yourself from being a victim of this, you might want to take my advice about using a strong password as well as using two factor authentication on your iCloud account. In the meantime, I hope that Apple for a change actually makes a comment about this and talks about how they are going to help users protect themselves.
