The FBI has said it is "addressing" allegations of hacking after several naked photos of female celebrities were leaked online. Jennifer Lawrence, here, and Kate Upton, here, have released statements threatening legal action against the hackers in what marks one the biggest celebrity privacy breaches in history.
A rep for Apple, which operates the online file storage service iCloud, also said the company is investigating the matter. It is unclear if all of the pictures, which were posted on Sunday, are authentic. The Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement to NBC News on Monday;
"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."
