Rihanna is the latest celebrity thought to have become victim to a second wave of nude photos being illegally posted online.
Private naked pictures, believed to be of the ‘We Found Love’ singer, were posted on websites such as 4Chan and Reddit over the weekend, along with similar photos allegedly showing Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens and Amber Heard, as part of one of the biggest celeb hackings in history.

The pictures reportedly show a woman with her back to the camera, whose tattoos are identical to those Rihanna has on her neck and shoulders, which are thought to have been taken during a dress fitting.
Although RiRi is known for her almost perpetual tweeting, she’s been relatively quiet lately, and is yet to confirm or deny on social media whether it’s actually her in the photos.
Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence’s nude photos were among the first to be shared over social media as part of the mass hack earlier this month, with a list being posted of over 100 celebrities whose private naked pictures were thought to have been stolen, which included Kate Upton and former ‘Downton Abbey’ actress Jessica Brown Findlay.
Jennifer is yet to address the scandal directly, but a representative for the celebrated actress has said that they will be taking legal action against anyone who posts the pictures, while Twitter have said that users who share the stolen photos will have their accounts suspended.
Although it was initially suspected the stars’ nude photos were obtained due to a glitch with Apple’s iCloud, the tech giants have since claimed that the leak was due to a “targeted attack” on the stars, with the hackers somehow accessing their victims’ private information, such as security questions and usernames, to access the photos.
