Over 100
celebrities were hit by the iCloud leaks and the photo’s have been spread over the internet, with sites like reddit, imgr and initially 4chan becoming places where anonymous users were leaking these celebrity pictures to the world.

Another
article also emerged which has claimed that anyone viewing the leaked pictures
