Jennifer Lawrence’s Nude Photos Leaked: Man Accused For The Leak By Reddit Users Says He Is Not Behind This
Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Justice, Kate Upton and Ariana Granda's alleged nude photos leaked online and authorities are looking for people behind this. Meanwhile, some Reddit users and researchers believe that 27-year-old Bryan Hamade is behind the leak.
Hamade talked to Buzzfeed and revealed that he is innocent and 4chan users are harassing him.
Buzzfeed noted that a photo circulating on Imgur shows a screenshot of Hamade's computer. Apparently, he took the screenshot to show that he has the leaked pictures. However, in the process, he exposed his network drive and hard drive. When some Reddit users checked out Hamade's last posts on Reddit, they recognised the name of the PC and hard drive. They blamed him for leaking the celebrities' naked photos.
"I am not behind this. It was so stupid - I saw a lot of people posting the actual leaks and bitcoin addresses and I've read a lot about bitcoin and how they're are valuable and I thought, oh cool I'll get free bitcoins," Hamade said to Buzzfeed.
He also mentioned he was just trying "pull one over 4chan," but in the process revealed his identity. Hamade said that he is not a hacker.
He revealed that 4chan users are harassing him with emails and phone calls.
Hamade also deactivated his Twitter and Linkedin accounts.
The 27-year-old said that it is likely that the person who entered the hacked iCloud accounts and leaker of photos can be different persons.
"The real guy is on 4chan posting intermittently. He's most likely the one behind it, but it does seem the photos passed around to multiple people before being leaked, so it may just be someone who has them and didn't hack to get them. They seem to have amassed a huge collection trading picture for picture and it's possible that whoever they sold it to started leaking the pictures yesterday - at least that's what it seems like."
On Sunday, alleged nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities leaked on the website - 4chan.
