The United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is on the hunt for the hackers who stole and leaked photographs of more than 100 celebrities, confirming it was “addressing the matter”, although offered no further comment.
More than 60 photographs of Oscar-winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence were among the intimate images which first appeared on an online bulletin board in the US before it went viral.
Initial reports suggest Apple’s iCloud service had been compromised, letting hackers access the accounts of celebrities.
