Word of the images launched a cascade of Google searches and set Twitter trending. In fact, it seems multiple 'b-tards' claimed they had access to the images, with one providing a Hotmail address associated with a PayPal account, and another seeking contributions to a Bitcoin wallet. Someone claiming to be the individual responsible for the breach has used 4Chan to offer explicit videos from Lawrence's phone, as well as more than 60 nude 'selfies' of the actress. The mainstream media have leapt on the story and have gotten reactions from affected celebrities including Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton. Over the last day, an alleged perpetrator has been exposed by redditors, although the man has declared his innocence. By now, you have probably heard about the digital exposure, so to speak, of nude photos of as many as 100 celebrities, taken from their Apple iCloud backups and posted to the 'b' forum on 4Chan.
