Full Title: Nude Photos Of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande Leak In Massive iCloud Hack

Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, and Kate Upton were among a handful of celebrities whose nude photos were leaked late Sunday afternoon following what appears to be a large-scale hack.

The photos first appeared on a 4Chan thread (very NSFW). So far, only Lawrence’s publicist Bryna Rifkin has confirmed, in an official statement to Buzzfeed, that the photos were of her client...

...The leaked photos were apparently obtained via a massive hack of Apple’s iCloud. They were then posted on 4chan by users offering more explicit material in exchange for bitcoin payments.

All I really want you to do is tell me that you’ve never heard of the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, either...

She has IRS IT "people" for that.

The IRS computer geeks can't write tax software, but they sure can "lose" and "delete" information needed to investigate IRS felonies...

No backup on an icloud computer is ever gone. It is backed up all over their millions of servers. The NSA has these and more. This is why they spy on Americans and English and Dutch women......

Kate Upton is a spectacular model I think she’s done Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover and was one of the models in the Carl’s Jr hamburger commercials. Jennifer Lawrence is the main actress in the Hunger Games, cute but cute is a dime a dozen in Hollyweird. Ariana Grande is a Disney actress and pop singer about age 19. She’s Ok. All in all why bother.

I don’t think that’s the best conclusion to draw. I’d say it’s more correct to believe that hacking is inevitable.

Hey, nice Six Pack.

As for me, I have a 24 Pack and I keep it inside a big fluffy pale white pillow.

Looks like your backyard is a bit windy.

If you didn’t want to share, why did you ever rely on somebody else keeping your data?

Was this dress supposed to be a joke? She’s right up there with Michelle when it comes to fashion sense.

How disgusting tatoos looks. Even if this person, whoever she is, was pretty and dressed nicely, the tatoo makes her look rough and dirty.

Her blue prison style tat really sets off that dress. What a fashion statement.

To me, a tattoo does nothing to improve the feminine form.

Why some women consider it to be high art is baffling.

Agreed.

When my daughter was looking for gowns for her bridesmaids in David’s (Buffalo) I went along. So many girls there trying on strapless wedding and bridesmaid gowns with these horrible tatoos across their shoulders, or on their arms, some all down their arms. Honestly, it looked so awful.

"The Fappening" LOL!!!

These pics are getting yanked off the web as fast as they're getting posted. And then they're getting reposted and pulled again. The Reddit servers are overloaded. Other naked celeb sites are down. Hollywood is threatening anyone who circulates them with legal action. What action can be taken, aside from against the person who hacked the accounts is uncertain. All these celebs are adults.

This news is a lot bigger than Jennifer Lawrence's boobs. It shatters Apple's claim that iCloud was secure and that's what really makes this story newsworthy.
