Nude Photo Leak: Kirsten Dunst Hits Out at Apple iCloud

American actress Kirsten Dunst hit out at Apple's iCloud platform, after nude photos of her surfaced on the internet on Sunday, in an apparent hack of iCloud. Nude photos and videos of several other celebrities including Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, model Kate Upton, actress and singer Mary Winstead, singer Ariana Grande and singer Rihanna were also leaked on Sunday.. Apple iCloud backs up content from devices like the iPhone, iPad etc. on to the internet. "Thank you iCloud," Kirsten Dunst tweeted sarcastically. The text was followed with an icon representing a pizza slice and an emoticon that represents a pile of excrement. Kirsten Dunst is the first of the celebrities whose nude pictures were leaked, to publicly criticise iCloud and Apple for the alleged hack. After nude photos of over a dozen female celebrities leaked online, Apple said it is "actively investigating" reports of possible vulnerabilities in the iCloud system. "We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report," said Apple spokesperson Nat Kerris, technology website Re/code reported. Reports suggested that the nude photos and videos may have leaked through a security breach of Apple's iCloud platform. However, there were no confirmations of the hack. Mary Winstead, whose nude pictures were also leaked, took to Twitter and said, "Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked." America's Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI is investigating the celebrity nude photos leak, according to reports.. "The FBI is aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter," The Los Angeles Times quoted Laura Eimiller, spokeswoman for the FBI in Los Angeles, as saying. "Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time," she added.. (With agency inputs)
