14 DAY TRIAL // After previously bragging that her intimate photos would never get leaked, Kim Kardashian was just given the biggest slap in the face ever. Hackers have proven her wrong and have leaked a couple of her more intimate selfies over the weekend, in which the reality star poses without any clothes on in front of the mirror.
For someone who already has a raunchy tape out, that should not be too much of an embarrassment, but it's sure must sting her since at the beginning of the month, when the first round of celebrity photos were leaked, Kim brazenly bragged to the press that her photos are safe.
Kim thought her photos are safe because she doesn't have an icloud account – they were not
Kim did the math and concluded that all those stars were hacked because they had an iCloud account. She then added that, in her case, such a hack was impossible, since she had deleted her account because she couldn't figure out how to work out. For once, technological ignorance might have saved her.
Except it didn't, because the resourceful hackers found a way to get their hands on her photos and leaked them over the weekend, together with many other celebrities, such as Hayden Panettiere, Amber Heard, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Lawrence (again), Mary-Kate Olsen and many more.
“I don't have an iCloud account on my phone. I deleted my account ages ago because I didn't really understand it and I was aware that it was so easily accessible,” said Kim, wiggling a virtual finger in her nose at the hackers.
“I think people in general just have to be cautious. It seems like there's a lot of people that love to spend their time hacking people's information, and that's just a scary thing,” she continues, giving important internet security advice to people, from the position of a person who's already had one of her most intimate films leaked online.
However, the hackers involved in this Celebgate scandal seem to be very good at what they are doing, since several celebrities have come forward and said that the photos in question had been deleted long ago. This brings up discussions as to why Apple hangs on to your deleted photos, but that's another discussion altogether.
Kim Kardashian remains silent on the scandal, prefers to talk about Kanye West
Today, as the media was basically roasting every female celebrity involved in the second wave of leaks, Kim Karashian kept mum on the subject, preferring to direct attention on her social media feed at her husband, Kanye West, whom she praised for his good looks. In the magic industry, this is called a sleight of hand or misdirection.
