A hacker is taking credit for leaking naked pictures of several female stars after pummeling through Web storage accounts.
J. Law’s people confirmed that the images, allegedly stolen from her Apple iCloud account, are authentic.
Mashable breaks out other big names in the data dump:
Aly and AJ Michalka, Aubrey Plaza, Abby Elliott, Avril Lavigne, Amber Heard, Brie Larson, Candice Swanepoel, Cara Delevigne, Emily Ratjakowski, Farrah Abraham, Gabrielle Union, Hayden Pannettiere, Hope Solo, Hillary Duff, Jenny McCarthy, Kayley Cuoco, Kate Upton, Kate Bosworth, Keke Palmer, Kim Kardashian, Kirsten Dunst, Krysten Ritter, Lea Michele, Lizzy Caplan, Mary Kate Olsen, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rihanna, Scarlet Johansson, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Wynona Ryder, Alison Brie and Dave Franco.
The photos were purportedly obtained via a sweeping hack of the iCloud service. They were then posted on the online bulletin board 4chan by users offering more graphic material in exchange for bitcoin payments, Business Insider reports.
But actress and singer Victoria Justice, another alleged victim, said that the photos aren't real.
"These so called nudes of me are FAKE people," she said. "Let me nip this in the bud right now. *pun intended*"
Mary Elizabeth Winstead lashed out at the hacker on Twitter, HuffPo reports.
"To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves," she said. "Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked."
