iCloud hacking: Now, 'nude photos' of Kim Kardashian West, Vanessa Hudgens leaked

Photos showing an apparently nude Kim Kardashian West are
among a group of images that have appeared online in what
appears to be a second leak of hacked personal pictures of
celebrities, weeks after stars including Jennifer Lawrence and
Kate Upton were targeted.
The actresses Vanessa Hudges and Aubrey Plaza, designer and
former child star Mary-Kate Olsen, and US soccer player Hope
Solo are reportedly also among those apparently hacked.
In the self-shot pictures being shared on online message board
4chan, Reddit and Twitter, the woman pertaining to be Kim
Kardashian West is not wearing a wedding ring and it is unclear
when the photos were taken.
Photographs of Hayden Panettiere and Eyes Wide Shut actress
Leelee Sobieski also feature in the latest cache, according to
Buzzfeed.
Further pictures of Lawrence are also reportedly circulating.
Earlier this month over 100 household names were the target of
online thieves, who stole scores of naked photographs and
intimate videos and posted them on the website 4Chan.
Several of the images - in particular, two of Hunger Games star
Lawrence - quickly circulated on Twitter.
The original list had also included Kim Kardashian West, Olsen
and Hudgens, as well as Ariana Grande, Jessica Brown Findlay,
Mary E Winstead, Rihanna, Mary E Winstead, Cara Delevingne,
Kate Bosworth, Selena Gomez, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst and
Kaley Cuoco.
The FBI and Apple are both conducting investigations into the
apparent widespread invasion of personal accounts thought to be
connected to the iCloud service.
A spokesperson for Lawrence said at the time: "This is a flagrant
violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will
prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer
Lawrence."
Justice and Grande both said that the pictures were fake,
although Lawrence's spokesperson verified their authenticity.
Representatives for Upton said they were "looking into" the
authenticity of the intimate images.
Ricky Gervais went on a back tracking spree on the social media
site after he was criticized for 'victim blaming', while Emma
Watson also took to Twitter to voice her condemnation of the
breach.
