Reality star Kim Kardashian is among the many celebrities dealing with the nude photo leak.
Reality star Kim Kardashian is among the many celebrities dealing with the nude photo leak. Phone hackers apparently posted nude pictures of her online at 4chan and Reddit, but were then taken down. The 33-year-old could be the latest victim in a hacking scandal that has affected many starlets, including Lake Bell, Hope Solo, and Vanessa Hudgens. There are more stars involved with the question of the security of their private photos.
It is known when the photos in question were taken. Kardashian is married to rapper Kanye West and has a daughter with him. She is apparently among the latest victims in a scandal that is likely the work of the same hackers who released nude photos of stars that include Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, and Victoria Justice. A few weeks ago, news broke that private photos of these celebrities were leaked online, creating uproar among the victims of the hack.
A rep for Kardashian declined to comment. It has raised questions about privacy and security issues and Apple is dealing with iCloud, its feature on which many photos were hacked. Some feel entitled to see the photos, but the stars aren’t laughing. Many have taken legal action and the FBI is investigating to find out who the phone hackers are. For Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens, invasion into privacy is not new to them. Both stars have dealt with hackers in the past. Hudgens had a nude photo scandal during her High School Musical days and a sex tape featuring Kardashian and her then-boyfriend Ray J was leaked in 2007.
The consequences of the nude photo scandal remain uncertain. It could lead to new security measures to ensure private information isn’t vulnerable to hackers. Whether it hurts careers or leads to any lawsuits remains to be seen.
