Kirsten Dunst slammed Apple this week after nude photos of her apparently leaked, as was the Drudge Report’s focus for Tuesday and Wednesday. Numerous lewd photos were released of celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton over the past few days.
Dunst, in a sarcastic Twitter post, wrote: “Thank you iCloud.”
Lawrence confirmed that pictures that surfaced online this week are actually of her.
Meanwhile, actress Victoria Justice said, “These so called nudes of me are FAKE people.”
And McKalya Marone also said photos that purport to be of her aren’t true. “The fake photos of me are crazy!! was trying to rise above it all, and not give ”the creator“ the time of day.. BUT..,” she wrote.
According to the Daily Mail, the hacker has gone on the run from the FBI.
He posted on early Monday morning to confirm that he was part of the alleged hack. He then announced that he was changing his location and thanked his “supporters.” The hacker apparently dumped the photos of female celebrities on the 4chan imageboard on Sunday.
“Guys, just to let you know I didn’t do this by myself,” he wrote. “There are several other people who were in on it and I needed to count on to make this happened (sic).”
He added: “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.”
The FBI on Monday confirmed that it’s started up an investigation. “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,” it said.
Another man, Bryan Hamade, was accused of being the celebrity hacker. However, the 27-year-old Georgia man said he’s not behind it.
“I am not behind this. It was so stupid — I saw a lot of people posting the actual leaks and bitcoin addresses and I’ve read a lot about bitcoin and how they are valuable and I thought, oh cool I'll get free bitcoins,” he told BuzzFeed.
“I am just an idiot who tried to pull one over on 4chan and lost big time and stupidly left this identifying information. They took my proof and back traced it — it isn’t remotely true. I am not a hacker. I have no idea how the hell someone could hack into all those accounts,” he added.
He later stated: “It’s been a nightmare and I haven’t slept in 34 hours, now. 4chan users are harassing me with non-stop phone calls and emails. They email me constantly, emailing saying they‘ll hack my personal websites and keep calling my phone, calling me a fag and then hanging up. They also said they’ll hack my mom’s site, so I took it down.”
