“A 4chan user claims to have released nude photos of several female celebrities in a major hacking.
The hacker said that he or she leaked photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, and a host of other stars.
A rep for J.Law confirmed that the images, allegedly stolen from her iCloud account, are real.
“This is a flagrant violation of privacy,” the spokesperson told HuffPost. “The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”
The Los Angeles Police Department told HuffPost that they have “no knowledge” of the hacking “at this time.” In a statement on Monday the FBI said,”The FBI is aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter. Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time.” Apple did not return a request for comment.”

This is very sad and whoever did this is really disgusting.
Good for you Ana for encouraging people not to look at the pictures.
While I’m not blaming the victims, it should be clear already not to store online or pass through cyberspace anything private (whether intimate, financial, etc.) online wherever possible.
If you need to take private photos, use a non-connected digital camera and keep them stored on a memory card that is not regularly in a connected device.
