FBI hunt hacker over nude Scarlett Johansson photos
The FBI is probing allegations that a number of Hollywood celebrities have been hacked, after semi-naked pictures of Scarlett Johansson leaked onto the internet, the agency said.
The photos, apparently taken by the actress herself, were published on gossip websites, while there were reports also of a hacked picture of Justin Timberlake, taken by actress Mila Kunis.
"The FBI is investigating the person or groups responsible for a series of computer intrusions involving high-profile figures," said Laura Eimiller of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Los Angeles. She would not name any of the alleged victims "due to the pending nature of our investigation," but it was thought there had been a recent uptick in alleged hacking of stars, initially reported earlier in the year.
