In recent months, celebrities including AnnaLynne McCord, Erin Heatherton, Winona Ryder, Rihanna, Avril Lavigne, Kristen Dunst and Jennifer Lawrence, have been victimized by hackers. There have also been a handful of male victims, including Nick Hogan and Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson.
Many of the men and women targeted have threatened to take legal action against the hackers, and any websites sharing the photos, but still, photo leaks have continued.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jennifer Lawrence addressed the hacking.
"It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change," Lawrence told the magazine, according to an Oct. 7 report by MSN. "That's why these websites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me."
