A month after the massive hacking of celebrity nude photos of such stars like Kate Upton and Jennifer Lawrence, were proliferated on the web, another massive security breach has nude photos of reality star, Kim Kardashian, embattled Soccer star, Hope Solo, designer Mary-Kate Olsen, singers, Avril Lavigne and Rihanna, and actresses like Amber Heard, Hayden Panettiere, Vanessa Hudgens, Gabrielle Union, are now making the rounds on the Internet.
The private photos were published on the online discussion board 4chan and Reddit according to New York Daily News, but this time, Boston reported, that the sites' administrator has "removed the photos as part of a new policy put in place following the initial leaks, though by then the photos had been widely re-circulated on other platforms."
On a joint statement released by Actress, Gabrielle Union, and her husband, NBA player Dwyane Wade, and obtained by The Sydney Morning Herald, they said that their legal team is now in contact with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Union, who appeared in movies "Bring it On" and "10 Things I Hate about You" said in the statement, "It has come to our attention that our private moments, that were shared and deleted solely between my husband and myself, have been leaked by some vultures."
The report also added that after the initial security breach last month, Apple said in a statement last September 2, "our customers' privacy and security are of utmost importance to us," as they try to find out who are responsible in the attack.
The statement adds, "after more than 40 hours of investigation, we have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the internet. None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple's systems, including iCloud or Find my iPhone."
The statement also says that Apple is continuing to work with law enforcement to help identify the cirminals involved in the photo leak.
