Is it Fappening all over again? Hackers are hitting again celebrities, with their latest victim, Leslie Jones, star of “Ghostbusters.”
Mashable reported that several nude photos of Jones were stolen from her website, including images of the actress engaged in sexual acts. The images were then leaked, included non-nude photos such as scans of her passport and her California driver’s license. She also had selfies with Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and other stars which were included in the leak.
The hackers also replaced her photo on top of Jones’s website with the image of Harambe, the gorilla in an Ohio zoo, reported TMZ.
Jones, who has apparently taken down her website, was the previous subject of racist abuse after “Ghostbusters” was released. Because of the online trolls, the actress quit Twitter briefly but returned to comment about the Rio Olympics as a special correspondent for NBC, reported the New York Times.
Among her tweets were to defend American gymnast Gabby Douglas who was also bullied online. A professor of education and psychology at the University of Southern California, Brendesha Tynes, said that part of the attacks against Jones was “a serious anti-black woman problem in the U.S.”
Since the nude photos were apparently taken with Jones’s smartphone, there is a possibility the hack was done through an iCloud breach. Among the nude photos were Jones standing in a forest with “Game of Thrones” actor Peter Dinklage, taken from the “Naked and Afraid” spoof.
