JENNIFER LAWRENCE NUDE PHOTOS LEAKED AGAIN?

Jennifer Lawrence was a victim of yet another naked photo leak this weekend. More nude Celebgate pictures are going viral online, with Brooke Burns, Cara Delevingne, Anna Kendrick, Kelli Garner and Carly Foulkes among the latest victims. It seems a flaw in iCloud's security may have led to this hacking scandal, but did Apple know about this possibility for a "brute force" breach months before the Fappening?
Jennifer Lawrence is the victim of another nude photo leak. Naked pictures of J.Law and Cara Delevingne went viral this weekend in what is being dubbed “The Fappening 3.”

This latest round of nude photos has reportedly surfaced on Reddit and 4chan, where the original “Fappening” took place. The latest batch allegedly includes 55 naked J.Law photos along with racy images of lesser-named stars like Delevingne, Misty May-Treanor, Alexandra Chando, Carly Foulkes, Mena Suvari, Briana Evigan, Kelli Garner, Brooke Burns, and Lauren O’Neil.

Anna Kendrick was also a victim of “The Fappening 3,” though none she was not naked in any of the leaked photos. But they do show her possibly smoking weed. Ironically, when the initial “Celebgate” nude pictures went viral, the actress insisted that she did not have any racy images on her phone.

Apple iCloud Hack Reported As Cause Of Leaked Jennifer Lawrence

It's a little bit awkward when you're flipping through photos in front of a group and come upon that one sexy pose in skimpy clothing you forgot was on there, but imagine if someone hacked your phone and uploaded all your private photos for the entire world to see. Jennifer Lawrence and several other celebrities don't need to imagine because a flaw in Apple's Find My iPhone service may have allowed hackers to do just that.

According to various reports, someone posted a Python script on Github for a password brute force proof of concept to Apple's iCloud service. Brute force attacks use a script to continually guess passwords until it finds the correct one, and in this instance, it leveraged a vulnerability in Find My iPhone that allowed for repeated password guesses without locking out the hacker or notifying the user.

A day after the code was posted to Github, celebrity photos began appearing on the web, including nude selfies, with anonymous 4chan users claiming to have plucked the photos from compromised celebrity iCloud accounts. According to ZDNet, other celebrity victims may have included Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice, Kate Upton, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Kirsten Dunst, and Selena Gomez, among others.

The author of the proof of concept isn't ready to concede that his tool is the likely culprit in all of this, though he does say it's a possibility. He told The Next Web, "I've not seen any evidence yet, but I admit that someone could use this tool."

Apple has rolled out a fix for the vulnerability so that when hackers try to brute force their way into someone's iCloud account through Find My iPhone, they're locked out after five unsuccessful attempts.

The release of hundreds of naked photos of celebrities was a crisis for Apple. It was also a disaster for the iCloud hackers on the porn forum "AnonIB." For years they had used the venue to openly trade hacking tips and software, stolen photographs of women, and even advertise their hacking services.

As news emerged of the iCloud hack, the anonymous staff of AnonIB took the site offline. They were presumably aware that "OriginalGuy," the source of the photos, began to release the images there. The message displayed on the site claimed that it was merely offline for "scheduled maintenance." However, the fact that the site was offline for two weeks, rather than the usual few hours reserved for maintenance, signaled that the site's founders were instead concerned over the wave of attention that AnonIB had come under.

Now, AnonIB is back online, and iCloud hackers are starting to come to terms with the release of photos that changed their "hobby" forever.

The "Obtained Photos" section of the site, known as /stol (short for "stolen photos") has been completely deleted following the iCloud hack. As Business Insider reported last month, it had previously served as an advertising service where hackers could share their expertise, and as a place for iCloud hackers to pool their resources in search of nude photographs:

We don't know for sure why AnonIB chose to delete the infamous section of the site that played host to a legion of iCloud hackers, but it's likely due to the threat of police action, or, absurdly, concerns over the privacy of its users. Email addresses have been posted in public for years, and journalists had begun to contact iCloud hackers wishing to speak about the leaked photos.

iCloud hackers returning to the forum have been able to discuss the celebrity photo leak for the first time after the mainstream press reported on the story. And they're not happy.

Forum posts frequently insult "OriginalGuy," the user who leaked photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and others. One commenter refers to him as "nobody leecher scum."

Elsewhere on AnonIB, one user complains that only a selection of the stolen celebrity photos were published.

While users are still posting on the public forum, the real discussion about hacking techniques has moved to a collection of private chatrooms. But the hackers aren't stopping their hobby. While they've been spooked by the publicity caused by the celebrity photo leak, and Apple has made their lives slightly tougher, iCloud hackers are still hard at work.
