A shocking stockpile of Jennifer Lawrence nude photos surfaced on the internet over the weekend, which caused an overwhelming reaction from both news outlets and social media. According to reports, the photos were obtained via a hack that manages to exploit Apple iCloud accounts. Apparently, Jennifer Lawrence is not the only celebrity that was hacked.
According to TheNextWeb, a major security flaw was discovered and exploited in the iCloud storage service for the Apple iPhone. On Monday, a "Python script" allows hackers to use "brute force" methods to crack account passwords via the "Find My iPhone" feature. The "brute force" method relentlessly guesses passwords until it finds the right one. Following the celebrity nude scandale, Apple quickly identified the "Find My iPhone" loophole and executed the patch for iCloud users.
Reports confirm that the scandalous nude photos originated from an anonymous image board on 4Chan's infamous /b/ image board, a sleazy corner of the internet that allows users to anonymously share leaked or stolen nudes of women. According to DailyDot, a user on 4chan announced that he possessed nude photos of some of the most recognizable celebrities in the world, and would be willing to publish the photos on the thread in exchange for bitcoins. Eventually, an enormous photo dump revealed nude photos of multiple celebrities, including Kate Upton, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and more.
According to a new report from the Mirror, the FBI are working around the clock to identify the anonymous hacker that distributed the nude photos online. The hacker goes by the name of "Original Guy" and is currently on the run from authorities. According to Daily Mail, the "Original Guy" revealed that the elaborate multiple-celebrity hack took months to complete and was the result of multiple hackers working together. What's more, the "Original Guy" also vowed to show even more leaked celebrity photos in the days ahead even though he faces prosecution.
“Guys, just to let you know I didn't do this by myself,” stated the anonymous hacker. “There are several other people who were in on it and I needed to count on to make this happened. This is the result of several months of long and hard work by all involved. We appreciate your donations and applaud your excitement. I will soon be moving to another location from which I will continue to post.”
While Jennifer Lawrence remains the top trending news and search term of the day, we fear a massive amount of celebrities will discover their stolen nude photos on the internet in the days ahead. In fact, the anonymous hacker is said to possess nude photos from as many as 101 celebrities.
