Kaley cuoco icloud leak - The iCloud Hacking 'The Fappening 2: The Second Coming

Shortly after the photos were leaked, several affected celebrities issued statements either confirming or denying the photos' authenticity.

There's science in her fashion choices! The iCloud hackers have struck again, and a new lot containing pictures of Kim Kardashian, Aubrey Plaza, Vanessa Hudgens, Hayden Panettiere, Kaley Cuoco, Leelee Sobieski, Mary-Kate Olsen and American Football player Hope Solo were being circulated on 4Chan and Reddit, on Saturday before being taken down.

In August 2016, 28-year-old Edward Majerczyk of Chicago, agreed to plead guilty to a similar phishing scheme, although authorities believe he worked independently and he was not accused of selling the images or posting them online.

In addition to his celebrity victims, Brannan targeted his underage sister-in-law, as well as teachers and students at the school where he used to teach.
