Nick Hogan Monday answered the question of who says female celebrities are the only ones who get their nude photos hacked via iCloud on social media.
Hogan, reality star son of wrestle-maniac Hulk Hogan, got his nude photo hacked. He becomes the first male celebrity victim swept up in the celebrity photo hacking affair now gripping the entertainment, and legal, world.

First brought to public attention through the 2006 "Hogan Knows Best" reality TV show, Hogan's personal nude photos hit the hacked social media world this weekend along with actresses AnnaLynne McCord and Winona Ryder and Erin Heatherton, a top Victoria's Secret model.
Hogan only took credit for some of the photos. Others released on the web were frauds, he said. Some, though, were of him and high school girlfriends stolen from iCloud and posted publicly by cyber-thieves.
Hacked photos of the 24-year-old reality star included him and his high school friends set in various, and graphic, sexual escapades and forms of undress. These include photos of genitalia and voluminous x-rated scenes. They also showed off girlfriends who were underage at the time the photos were taken.
Cyber-hackers, who were suspected to belong to a criminal gang, didn't stop with Hogan, either. They posted two photos of his mom, Linda Hogan, bending over in a thong, displaying her, shall we say, posterior area.
Hogan says some of the photos aren't even his. However, many are and he joins previously nude photo hacked female celebrities like supermodel Kate Upton, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and superstar singer Rihanna in the iCloud nude photo release scandal.
It remains to be seen whether he joins a dozen female celebrities who were hacked and now threaten a US$100 million lawsuit against Google for not protecting images from search indexes that led to their hacked release. The FBI also is investigating the entire shmere.
Google's response to date has been that it has closed hundreds of suspicious accounts and taken down thousands of photos.
