Celebrity News Fappening Photos Timeline From September 3 - October 10, Will 4Chan Hackers Get Caught Or Is There More To Come ?
Celebrity News Fappening Photos Explained. After a host of private photo leaks ensued from September 3 to October 10 on the image-sharing site 4Chan, news reports claimed that the photos of A-list stars were hacked from iCloud personal accounts. As feverish as that may sound, the 4Chan hacker was accredited for targeting personal accounts and password used by Apple's storage service, iCloud.
While iCloud had received tremendous popularity as the next generation storage concept, the Hollywood nude photo leaks have undermined iCloud's security features.
Apple denies any breach in their security, but admit that the private photos were taken from private accounts without permission.
Media also blame Reddit for sharing links to 4Chan images, which when clicked would allow viewers to look at personal photos of Hollywood actresses and some actors in the later Fappening segments that followed. Initially, Reddit was unable to stop the spread of photos to other sites, but after actresses took on their share of activism, the photo sharing was stopped on Reddit.
A dozen victims of the Fappening attacks have collectively sued Google for $100 million alleging that Google allowed searches and their websites like YouTube to continue displaying personal photos.
