14 DAY TRIAL // The 2017 Fappening is all but confirmed, as X-rated photos of more and more celebrities reach the web after what are likely to be successful hack attacks targeting their smartphones.
This time, private photos of Miley Cyrus have reached the web, showing the American singer cuddling up naked next to Victoria’s Secret Angel Stella Maxwell. The photos are part of a larger dump showing Miley Cyrus and are believed to come from the singer’s smartphone.
Details about the hack are not available, but the photos are likely to be kind of old, as Stella Maxwell is currently dating Kristen Stewart. Miley Cyrus and the Victoria’s Secret model were a couple back in 2015, but as of late 2016, the Angel has been dating Stewart.
It’s not known if the leaked photos are part of a dump stolen from Miley’s phone as part of a previous hack or if this is a new hack and the pics were still there on her device.
Another iCloud hack?
At the time of publishing this article, neither Miley Cyrus nor Stella Maxwell offered a statement, but several other celebrities whose private pictures were posted online earlier this week already threatened to sue, including here Tiger Woods and his ex Lindsey Vonn.
The original Fappening leaks took place after a hacker managed to breach celebrities’ iCloud accounts, as the photos were taken with an iPhone and then backed up in the cloud. There’s a chance that compromised iCloud accounts are once again at fault, though at this point there’s no confirmation in this regard.
Actress Kristen Stewart herself has also been hacked and her private photos were posted online as part of this latest dump.
It remains to be seen if the celebrity lawyers manage to stop the nude photos from spreading online, but since this is the Internet, trying to prevent something from being posted is the last thing people should do.
