Celeb Fappening Scandal: Hollywood Fears An All-Men Private Photo Leak Possible In The Wake Of 2nd 4Chan Hack?
After a second release of nude photo celeb leaks by the infamous hacking group 4Chan targeting high profile women, Hollywood is confronting fears of an all-male hacked installment. According to one report by TMZ, male celebs are afraid of a possible Fappening Part 3 that would include men's photos exclusively.
News portals claim that male celebs worry that a private male photo leak might be in the offing. TMZ shared, "Some are going to great lengths to keep their junk private," adding, "They all think it's just a matter of time."
At least one male celeb has admitted he was hacked in 2013, and how have contacted colleagues, partners and friends keeping them abreast of a possible hack via phishing, where emails are used to obtain personal information about accounts.
Some tech analysts say that celebrities are already disconnecting from using the iCloud and Find My iPhone apps after the initial Fappening 1 attack, which victims blamed Apple for leaks from its storage leak via iCloud. Despite Apple's lack of involvement, a spokesperson did say that these breaches are taken seriously by the Cupertino, California firm and an investigation is underway at Apple. The FBA too was called in after Jennifer Lawrence authorized a query into the leak, but the FBI has yet to report its findings. Even after the first hack, 4Chan said that more is on the way and that he would be posting from various locations because he is on the run from authorities.
Apple, which just released the hotly anticipated iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus and the Apple Watch, all of which connect to the tech giant's storage services could suffer from more and more users who are unwilling to use the iCloud for storage.
In the second Flapping hack, 60 photos were leaked, but none of them were men. Next time, it could be an all-men hack, say reports.
