A new celebrity photo hacking scandal has erupted in what people are calling the "Fappening 2.0".
It follows prior reports of Emma Watson and Amanda Seyfried having had private photos leaked onto the internet.
Now several other celebrities have been hit by fappening.

"According to a screenshot from an original 4chan thread, unknown hackers will be posting more intimate photos of female celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, Marisa Tomei, Jennifer Lawrence and several others, over the next few days, which indicates it's just the beginning of The Fappening 2.0," they say.
"There is yet no information on the source of the leaks or how the personal photos of celebrities were obtained, but the anonymous hackers are claiming that these leaks are just the tip of an iceberg and they're about to release the next batch of celebrities to get their photos leaked."

A spokesperson for Watson dismissed the nature of the leaked pictures, saying: "Photos from a clothes fitting Emma had with a stylist a couple of years ago have been stolen. They are not nude photographs".
"Lawyers have been instructed and we are not commenting further."
The first celebrity pictures leaked aka "Fappening" occurred in 2014. The hackers responsible eventually got sent to prison. Risky business for a couple of naked selfies if you ask me.
