Private photos of Anna Kendrick exposed in new leak - UPI.com

More celebrity hacking happening. The list is getting bigger and bigger. This article states that the FBI is working with Apple. Should iPhone users start to become concerned about their security. This "hack-a-thon" should start to open more eyes to mobile security and privacy.

Friday's leak, dubbed The Fappening 3, allegedly included photos of British model Cara Delevnigne and more intimate pictures of actress Jennifer Lawrence. The Hunger Games star was the main victim of the first celebrity photo leak and alongside Kirsten Dunst has taken legal action against websites posting the nude and semi-nude photos. Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, soap opera star Alexandra Chando, actress Kelli Garner (Going the Distance), TV presenter Brook Burns, and actress Lauren O'Neil were also targeted in the latest leak.

After the first batch of photos was leaked in September, hackers struck again last weekend releasing multiple private images of Gabrielle Union, Rihanna, Hayden Panettiere Kim Kardashian and more.

The FBI is said to be working closely with Apple to uncover the hacker behind the leaks. After the first set of images was leaked, Apple revealed that hackers obtained access to the celebrities accounts by correctly guessing their password through "Phishing" -- the act of posing as someone who has forgotten their username and password.

Didn't Apple say they have already fixed the unlimited log in attempts and that it's not their fault that these victims don't know how to set up their passwords more securely?
