The images were leaked by a 4chan user, who claimed accountability for them and taunted that he will release more images from over 100 hacked accounts in iCloud. The hacker sold the images online in exchange for online money through bit coins. The scandal is on its way to become the biggest celebrity scandal in history, if it isn't already.

Aside from Lawrence, Grande, and Upton, other celebrities included in the scandalous image release are socialite Kim Kardashian, singer Rihanna, Hilary Duff, Kaley Cuoco of Big Bang Theory, Glee's Lea Michele, Emily Browning, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Kate Bosworth, and Victoria Justice, who, unlike Lawrence, denied the authenticity of alleged pictures of her. British A-listers Michelle Keegan, Cara Delevingne, Cat Deeley, and Kelly Brook are also claimed to be included.

Lawrence, according to sources, replied via email, making it a point that the malicious act is a severe violation of the right to privacy and that anyone who will post or publish the private images will be dealt with dearly, by the proper authorities.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, another victim of the hacking, expresses her disappointment and sympathy through Twitter, addressing the voyeurs, fans, and other victims respectively.

"To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves," she stated on her Twitter profile.

10 years in prison was the punishment for the crimes of Christopher Chaney, a hacker who was found guilty for stealing and leaking intimate photos of Christina Aguilera, Scarlet Johansson, and Mila Kunis, and he is still doing his time up to now.
