Male actors in Hollywood could be the next target of nude celebrity photo leak scandal, new media reports are suggesting. The panicked male celebrities have reportedly got in touch with their ex-girlfriends, co-workers and friends, warning them that they could be on the target list of the hackers and their nude pictures could be leaked next, says the report.

The most common talk amongst the potential male celerities is the fear of getting their nude pictures leaked, reports TMZ. The website reportedly spoke to many male celebs but it has not revealed their names.

"The next celebrity hacking victim could well be a guy... so fear a number of young, male Hollywood celebs - and some are going to great lengths to keep their junk private....multiple male celebs -- mostly actors -- who tell us it's all they're talking about... and they're scared," reports the website.

The weekend saw many celebrity nude pictures leaked on Internet including the ones of Kim Kardashian, Gabrielle Union, Amber Heard, Rihanna and Vanessa Hudgens.

The Hollywood male celebrities have also taken action in the form of getting disconnected from Apple's iCloud services, where they store their data and pictures. Most of them have also changed their passwords on weekly basis, reveals the website.

However, the matter of nude photo-hacking is reportedly under investigation by the FBI, and many experts are of the opinion that it is just a matter of time when the hackers will be caught and put behind the bars. Hacking, stealing and leaking personal pictures of someone is a crime and punishable by law.

Philip Lieberman, CEO of Lieberman Software, which builds anti-hacking technology for various organisations, revealed to USA Today that it is not difficult to catch hackers and many of them have already been caught.

"(The FBI) will mostly likely catch them, because they're relatively easy to catch and many have already been caught," revealed Lieberman to USA Today. "There will be a perp walk, because they want to send a message. And the celebrities will have their indignant outrage and publicity they could never have paid for."
