A hacker released onto the internet Countless showing and naked photos of celebrities. Police have yet to identify the offender and it’s not clear precisely how she or he obtained access to these women’s accounts, together with iCloud the most reported service.

“Also raises the awareness that you need ton’t be placing nudes of yourself online. . .Maybe the lesson learnt by this ought to be”do not be stupid”,” read a comment since deleted on The Verge. That is logic, trying to shift back the blame . But it also ignores how common discuss and it has become for women and men to take images of these on the internet and over mobile devices.
One in five American adults has received a naked photograph
According to a current study by the Pew Research Center, 44 percent of teens reported sending or getting a sexually explicit text, or sext, a jump of nearly twice the 26 percent that reported doing so in 2012. The amount of consumers among all age groups, who state they’ve received a photo is now just one in five, compared to 15 percent. A independent study in Purdue University found that among 21 year olds, 80 percent had received or sent a sext and 46 percent had delivered a bare selfie. A report in the security company McAffe discovered half of adults surveyed had used their mobile device to send and get”intimate content” and half of these kept the texts and images stored on their phones.
Stars, in other words, are just like us. Regrettably, since they’re famous, hackers believe their moments are worth slipping and sharing.
