Hackers stole and published personal photos of two actresses. Hackers hacked Buzova, posting correspondence with Nagiyev and intimate photos New hacker hack of Hollywood stars

scandal known as The Fappening or Celebgate. On March 15, 2016, the US Department of Justice published an official statement according to which 36-year-old Pennsylvania resident Ryan Collins was guilty of the massive hacking of Gmail and iCloud accounts of stars (with the subsequent publication of their personal photos on 4chan).

Let me remind you that in 2014, intimate photographs of A-list stars, including Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian, Kirsten Dunst and others, were leaked online. Then the hacker managed to gain access to other people's iCloud accounts, most of whose owners were famous personalities.

But it seems that Collins has found worthy followers. Today, March 15, 2017, the attackers “celebrated” the anniversary of The Fappening by leaking new personal photographs of two famous actresses- Emma Watson and Amanda Seyfried.

In addition, a message appeared on the 4chan imageboard, according to which this leak is just the beginning. Unknown people promised to soon publish personal photographs and videos of several dozen more famous actresses. Photos of some of the stars on this list have already started appearing on thefappening.so.

It is still unknown how exactly the attackers got their hands on intimate photos graphies of actresses. Let me remind you that in 2014, Collins sent targeted phishing emails to his famous victims and their friends, in which he introduced himself as an employee of Google or Apple and asked the victims to provide their username and password. Thus, he gained access to 50 iCloud accounts and 72 Gmail accounts. This time there are no details yet. What is known is that the leak was “announced” on Reddit. User Alverx warned that Emma Watson and Amanda Seyfried were about to make headlines, writing: "Don't want to break Reddit rules so no links yet, but we've got some really good drama coming up in the next couple of days."

The phone of TV presenter and former participant in the show "Dom-2" Olga Buzova was hacked as a result hacker attack, writes Trinixy. A number of Olga’s correspondences and her intimate photos were leaked online. The TV star's personal life appears to be taking on the dark hue of divorce. Judging by the information received from correspondence, happy marriage is experiencing with football player Dmitry Tarasov hard times. Thirty-year-old Buzova lives separately from her husband and communicates very closely with the odious Dmitry Nagiyev.

The Moscow Lokomotiv football player is credited with an affair with Anastasia Kostenko (Miss Russia 2014). Judging by the correspondence, his mother knew about Tarasov’s affair, but did not say anything to her daughter-in-law. Buzova thanked her mother-in-law with the following message.

After a quarrel between Buzova and her mother-in-law, her husband began writing to Olga.

Olga’s mother intervened in the conflict, trying to save her daughter’s marriage to a football player. Of course, my son-in-law makes good money.

As can be seen from the correspondence, Dmitry was tired of the constant dirt in the house, since his wife did not do housework or clean the apartment at all. Although the earnings of both spouses allow them to hire a housekeeper... After persuasion, Buzova’s mother switched to pure pragmatism.

A little later I joined the discussion younger sister Olga.

In addition to her mother and sister, the TV presenter found another comforter. He turned out to be the famous showman Dmitry Nagiyev, with whom Olga has been communicating for quite some time. Messages contain profanity.

A small attempt at conspiracy from Olga

Judging by the following messages, the TV star, offended by everyone and everything, kept her promise.

Apple's cloud service is increasingly becoming the anti-hero of scandals that receive wide public attention. Moreover, this time the attackers really managed to amaze even those who were accustomed to various kinds leaks to the public - almost hundreds of intimate photographs have leaked onto the Internet.

The issue of third parties gaining access to intimate materials stored on the cloud was first widely discussed after the release of the film (Home Video in Russian distribution), the heroes of which accidentally sent out their adult video friends and relatives. In addition, just recently, Russian hackers from the Anonymous International group announced that they were in possession of the accounts on Facebook, Twitter and VKontakte of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. However, the current action of cyber criminals raises many more questions.

So, according to the 4chan hacker who published the archives with photographs, he was offered a sum of six zeros for providing the exclusive right to print and publish the photographs to the tabloid TMZ, but he chose to simply post them on open access. We are talking about photos of celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Avril Lavigne, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kate Olsen, Rihanna, Victoria Justice, Ariana Garanda, Kirsten Dunst, Nadezhda Solo, Kristen Ritteri and many others who have set up automatic synchronization of Camera Roll with iCloud . Everything would have been fine if celebrities had not taken selfies naked and without makeup - such fame turned out to be of no use to them.

As one of the most probable causes Hacking experts traditionally call human factor- weak passwords, lack of two-factor authentication, simple code words, access to the cloud from a large number of uncontrolled devices, etc., but in this case we're talking about oh too large quantities celebrities whose accounts could have been accessed either as a result of an unprecedentedly large-scale targeted group of hackers, or if a vulnerability was discovered in the iCloud system itself. Parallels security specialist Anton Dedov notes that a cloud service is very difficult to make secure, since it must be accessible to the user from different devices, from anywhere in the world, to store arbitrary information.

Be that as it may, the hackers who carried out this action are at great risk, because several years ago a similar incident occurred in the United States when an attacker published photographs of Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis. The result is 10 years in prison. As for Apple's reputation, it has seriously suffered in lately and experts will certainly make every effort to avoid similar incidents in the future.

An attacker hacked into the stars' iCloud accounts and stole their personal information, including candid photos and video. As it turned out, many celebrities store them in their smartphones.

These images began to appear online the night before: the hacker decided to make a business out of the stolen images and, having demonstrated some of them, offers to show the public more in exchange for bitcoins (digital currency).

Photos of Jennifer Lawrence were the first to surface. The hacker claims that he has more than 60 “naked selfies” of her.

A spokesman for Lawrence said: "This gross violation rights to privacy. We have already contacted the relevant authorities: anyone who publishes stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence will be punished,” notes hollywoodreporter.com.

Hackers also posted explicit photos of Kirsten Dunst, Teresa Palmer, fashion models Kate Upton, Bar Refaeli, two-time Olympic soccer champion Hope Solo, and many other stars.

Among the victims of cyber attacks on Hollywood celebrities turned out to be future wife Ukrainian boxer Vladimir Klitschko - actress Hayden Pannetiere.

iCloud accounts are designed to allow iPad, iPhone and Mac users to sync calendars, photos, settings and other data on their gadgets. The service has been repeatedly criticized for its unreliability.

Earlier this year, Jennifer Lawrence herself complained about the inconvenience of iCloud in an interview with MTV: “My iCloud keeps telling me to create backup copy, and I kind of answer: I don’t know how to make a backup copy. Do it yourself,” notes Gazeta.Ru.

The first case of such an attack on stars occurred in 2005, when hackers managed to gain access to Paris Hilton's phone and download photos from there. Then the attackers managed to gain access to the phone by answering a secret question, the answer to which socialite I chose the name of my dog.

The largest leak of star intimate photos, called The Fappening, did not go unnoticed by fans. Leaks sympathizing with victims are published on social networks own intimate photos with the tag #leakforjlaw.
