A new wave of stolen photos of actresses such as Emma Watson, Amy Seyfried or Katie Cassidy has occurred this weekend. It's The Fappening 2.0.
It has happened again. The Fappening 2.0 is already a reality. Someone has not learned the lesson, and the consequences can be very serious for their public image, because we are talking about and private images of famous actresses,that have been stolen and posted on the Internet.
If a few days ago the stolen photos of Emma Watson and Amanda Seyfried came to light, as an isolated incident, this weekend hundreds of photos of other actresses, singers and models such as Katie Cassidy, Angie Miller, Lacey Bang hard have been leaked, and many others that it is not a matter of airing either, out of respect for their privacy.
The photos vary from the simple posing of Emma Watson for a clothing firm, which are not at all blushing, to the typical selfies in front of the mirror of other actresses. But there are also photos of a nature that seriously harm the people who appear in them. And in all cases it is a very serious intrusion on people's privacy.
At the moment there is no data on the origin of the photos or the identity of the cyber criminals who have taken them and published them on the Internet. There is talk of a new leak through stolen iCloud and Gmail keys, but there is no official confirmation. Some actresses involved have spoken in the mouth of their lawyers, announcing legal action. Although at the moment these actions do not have recipients.
These leaks of stolen photos of actresses are a carbon copy of those that occurred almost three years ago, in a scandal that was baptized with the name of The Fappening.
The hacker Ryan Collins was arrested and confessed to having obtained the keys to the accounts of the famous using a procedure as old and simple as phishing: he sent emails pretending to be Apple or Google, where he asked for the passwords to solve a security problem. Incredibly, dozens of famous personalities took the bait.
Everything indicates that this time something similar has happened. Ryan Collins was sentenced to 5 years in prison, but that doesn't seem to have scared off the hackers who have reposted these new stolen photos of famous actresses online.
