Just three weeks after the iCloud celebrity nude photo leak happened, another batch of nude celebrity images were unleashed on 4chan and Reddit Saturday. Some of the pictures were of those who were in the first batch, and some were of new faces - or should we say bodies - with Kim Kardashian West among the latter.
"Although most of the latest victims were named on an original list of targeted celebrities, posted by a hacker to the anonymous image-sharing forum 4chan last month, Kim, also 33, was not," the Daily Mail said.
The said photos were quickly taken down when they were uploaded to Reddit, in keeping with the site's policy on sharing hacked images. They certainly have been on close watch since The Fappening I.
This, however, has not kept Kim's beau Kanye West from being displeased about the alleged leak.
"The rapper certainly looked furious as he jetted out of Los Angeles on Sunday," the British publication noted. "His departure came hours after naked photos of Kim Kardashian were leaked online in the latest twist in the celeb photo hacking scandal."
Uh oh - watch out for Kanye's wrath, hackers!
According to the New York Daily News, "a brunette woman with a striking resemblance to Kardashian stands naked in a luxurious bathroom, taking pictures of herself in a mirror." The woman in the said selfie appeared to be using a silver BlackBerry phone to take snaps of her backside and breasts.
If the photos were indeed of Kim, they were definitely not meant for public consumption. They would, understandably, be meant for the sole private enjoyment of her rapper husband, which would explain Kanye's displeasure at the hack.
"Kanye certainly seemed to be aware of the scandal - in which hackers have targeted dozens of public figures - as he arrived to catch his flight at LAX," the Daily Mail observed. "With a scowl on his face, the 37-year-old stalked past photographers at the airport, his hands in his pockets."
Prior to the leak, the reality star was quoted by Time as saying that the first celebrity nude photo leak was "a wake-up call for people to make sure they have every privacy setting."
"It seems like there are a lot of people that love to spend their time hacking peoples' information and that's just a scary thing," she said.
And it looks like the hackers targeted her this time around and managed to succeed.
A Kardashian representative has declined to comment about the issue at the moment. Perhaps we'll be hearing an official statement from the 33-year-old sometime soon.
