Hacker leaks nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence, other celebrities

Intimate images of dozens of celebrities, including Academy Award winner and Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, have been leaked online by an anonymous hacker who claims to have stolen materials from more than 100 actors and singers.

A user on the internet bulletin site 4chan began posting the images, which included nude photographs of Lawrence, Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton and other movie and television personalities, shortly after 4 p.m. ET Sunday.

Various media outlets are reporting that private images and video were allegedly accessed through a security weakness in the celebrities' Apple iCloud accounts, but Apple has not confirmed that claim. 

The same user also posted a list that included more than 100 names and claimed images and video will be continuously uploaded online in the following days.

Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton initially posted some of the photographs on his site but then pulled them down and tweeted an apology, saying he had acted in haste.

Various media are also reporting that numerous Twitter accounts posting some of the images in question were suspended.

According to the Guardian, the list of celebrity names includes Canadian singer Avril Lavigne and reality star Kim Kardashian, singer Rihanna and actress Kirsten Dunst.

The images seen online Sunday were initially met with skepticism on social media outlets.

However, various media including the Washington Post said Lawrence's publicist confirmed the mostly nude photos of the Silver Linings Playbook and Hunger Games series star were real and had been stolen from her personal digital devices.

The publicist's statement, according to reports, called the actions a "flagrant violation of privacy," saying law enforcement had been contacted and those who posts the images would be prosecuted.

Other celebrities took to Twitter to deny the images were of them, saying they were fabricated, while others expressed anger at those who posted them. 

In 2012, Christopher Chaney of Florida was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after he hacked into the personal devices of actress Scarlett Johansson and posted revealing images online.

Word of the photo leak comes ahead of the celebrity-studded Toronto International Film Festival, which gets underway Thursday and runs to Sept. 14.
