The FBI is said to be investigating a hacking ring that is attacking phones and computers of more than 50 stars and stealing nude photos and other personal items from their accounts.
TMZ has revealed a partial list of the celebs who have had their pictures and video stolen from their computers and mobile devices including Vanessa Hudgens, Ali Larter, Busy Philipps, Miley Cyrus, Emma Caulfield, and more. Another actress who the feds say was hacked by the same group is Scarlett Johansson, who is said to have had a nude picture stolen from her iPhone.
Vanessa Hudgens, 22, is currently working with the FBI to determine how her Gmail account got hacked. It has been revealed that one of the hackers has his fingerprints on every job. Hudgens’ lawyer, Christopher Wong, told TMZ that the Sucker Punch star is “deeply upset and angered that these old photos, which were taken years ago, continue to resurface. It is particularly disturbing that whoever got a hold of these private photos seem to be intent on illegally leaking them out over a long period of time.”
A set of naked pictures allegedly showing 18-year-old actress Alexa Nikolas, from the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101, were also reportedly put online as well of those of her and Hudgens kissing.
Some of the photos and video hacked have been offered to websites, but the FBI state the primary motivation is reportedly the buzz from being able to access the accounts of their high-profile victims. The investigation is still continuing and several celebrities are said to be in a state of panic.
1. if you don't want people to see naked pics of you, DON'T TAKE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE! 2. Hudgens”™ lawyer, Christopher Wong, told TMZ that the Sucker Punch star is “deeply upset and angered that these old photos, which were taken years ago, continue to resurface. If they are that old, what were they doing in her G-mail account? 3. Until they discover a body part that is new and never been seen before, who cares about looking at naked pics? the real thing is MUCH more satisfying lol
Some people have too much time on their hands... get a job, or a life perhaps.
lol.... thanks the this article: the pervs know what names to search for! :P
It's free publicity for people to start googling their names.
I think it's disgusting that the press and people in general have a need-to-know fetish for the privacy of people who's jobs just happen to put them in the public eye. Actors and actresses still have a right to privacy and what they do in their private lives are really NONE OF ANYONE'S BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't care about there business but I hope the Scarlet pictures get leaked!
yeah would like see Scarlet naked :P
