The release of compromising pictures of celebrities continues as more actresses were victimized by the largest hacking in Hollywood dubbed as "The Fappening". Among the latest list of names is "Vampire Diaries" darling Nina Dobrev.
Gossip Cop reports that stolen pictures of the actress have been released on social media platforms like Reddit and 4chan last Wednesday. Fortunately, the dozen hacked photos appear to be non-nudes. However, they are still described as shots of private moments that are never meant for the public eyes.
Unfortunately, other stars like AnnaLynne McCord, Joanna Kruppa, Zoe Kazan, and Emily Bett Rickards are not as lucky as naked photos of them started making their rounds online. According to Mashable.com, the new wave of images visibly showed the faces of the stars and did not seem to be photoshopped. As of to date, none of the actresses have denied or confirmed the legitimacy of the photos.
This latest leak of The Fappening-which first started in August and was followed by a second wave in mid-September-comes at the height of several stars' plan to sue Google. Hollywoodtake.com reports that Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer sent a letter to the web giant earlier this week demanding for the takedown of the pictures from their search engines.
The Fappening lawsuit criticizes Google for taking little to no action in preventing the spread of the images and videos despite knowing that they are stolen property that violate the human rights and privacy of the victims.
As for Nina, the 25-year-old Bulgarian-Canadian actress is lucky for not seemingly been included in the so-called "master list" of The Fappening targets. Big names, which have already been victimized, include Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Amber Heard, and Vanessa Hudgens.
Besides from the platforms where the photos are usually leaked, reports suggest that the majority of activity happens on invite-only forums and IRC channels where the images are being traded.
