US model and reality TV star Kylie Jenner is one of the latest celebrities that got hacked, after cyber-criminals managed to take over her Snapchat account during the weekend.

And while at first glance it looked like this could be another episode of the Fappening saga, with hackers themselves threatening to post nude photos stolen from the 19-year-old scion of the Kardashian family, it looks like this won’t be the case because no adult content was discovered whatsoever.

It appears that whoever hacked Jenner’s account was only seeking the Internet’s attention, and after calling for fans of the US celebrity to follow them, they reckoned in a follow-up tweet that it was all just a lie and no nude photos were discovered.

Hacker already banned

"Jk she aint got nudes lol but rt my pinned tweet i want clout lol. [sic]” the hacker posted a few hours ago, as reported by the Daily Star.

The hacker’s account was eventually banned, obviously with no nude photos being published, and following a failed attempt to get more followers for their personal account.

Kylie Jenner, however, is no stranger of hackers, and while this time she hasn’t posted any message to respond to the attack on her Snapchat account, she did reply to hackers in a different breach that took place in 2016.

The American celebrity’s Twitter account was hacked last year and just like the aforementioned source notes, she replied with a video showing her eating white chocolate and saying that “my Twitter was hacked and I don’t really care, I’m just letting him have fun.”

It remains to be seen if the identity of the hacker is discovered or if someone claims the attacks, but the chances are that it all happened because of a phishing attack or a weak password, and the breach is unlikely to be connected to other leaks affecting celebrities as part of the Fappening saga.
