A hacker broke into the iCloud account of celebrities and posted intimate images of Beauty and the Beast star Emma Watson, Mischa Barton, Amanda Seyfried, and others.
The unknown hacker posted the images to imageboarding sites including 4chan and Reddit. Some are speculating that the images were part of the 2014 Celebgate leak and were uploaded by a collector of stolen images.
Emma Watson's publicist said the actress is contemplating legal action if the hacker is exposed.
"Photos from a clothes fitting Emma had with a stylist a couple of years ago have been stolen," her publicist told Time in an email. "They are not nude photographs. Lawyers have been instructed and we are not commenting further."
If the hacker follows the lead from Celebgate, more photos and videos will be forth coming.
