The singer appears to be the latest
victim of the large-scale hacking
Nude pictures thought to be of Rihanna
have been leaked on 4Chan and Reddit today.
Two naked photographs allegedly of the singer have surfaced, in
a second wave of the large-scale photo hacking, although their veracity
cannot be established yet.
A spokesperson for Rihanna could not be reached.
Rihanna was on the original list of over 100
celebrities said to have had nude photos leaked via online forum 4Chan a
few weeks ago, including Jennifer
Lawrence, Kim Kardashian, Cara Delevingne, Kirsten Dunst, Ariana
Grande, Victoria
Justice and Kate
Upton.
New naked pictures allegedly emerged yesterday (20 September) claiming
to be of Kardashian, Lawrence, Emily Ratajkowski, Vanessa Hudgens, Aubrey
Plaza, Mary-Kate Olsen, Gabrielle
Union, Hope Solo. Hayden Panettiere and Leelee Sobieski
Kardashian’s representative declined to comment.
Gabrielle Union and her husband, Dwayne Wade have
since released a statement, via TMZ, describing the hackers as
"vultures".
"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," read the statement.
"I can’t help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time women
and children, specifically women of color [sic], have been victimized [sic],
and the power over their own bodies taken from them. These atrocities against
women and children continue worldwide."
The couple also offered their sympathies for other victims of the
hacking.
"For anyone out there also being affected by these and other
hacking and hate crimes - We send our love, support and prayers," they
said. "We have done nothing wrong."
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: ”This is a flagrant violation of
privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who
posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.“
The anonymous hacker has complained about the moneyreceived for the
images.
"People wanted s*** for free. Sure, I got $120 with my bitcoin
address, but when you consider how much time was put into acquiring this stuff
(i'm not the hacker, just a collector), and the money (i paid a lot via bitcoin
as well to get certain sets when this stuff was being privately traded
Friday/Saturday) I really didn't get close to what I was hoping," the
person wrote on 4Chan.
