Olivia Munn, Christina Hendricks Deny Nude Photos After Phones are Hacked

Reps for both Christina Hendricks and Olivia Munn have confirmed that the phones of the actresses had indeed been hacked recently and that photos from the phones were compromised. Both camps, however, have been quick to point out that any nude photos claiming to be of the two stars are definitely fake. While explaining that photos of each actress were indeed on their phones, reps have been adamant that there were no nude photos involved.

Hendricks and Munn are the latest celebrities to fall victim to phone hackers, with recent high profile victims including Mila Kunis, Vanessa Hudgens, Blake Lively and Scarlett Johansson. The perpetrator in those cases was caught and is facing jail terms in excess of one hundred years for his actions. He has already admitted to the crimes, describing his fascination with hacking the phones of celebrities as "addictive" and he eventually became obsessed with peeping into the private worlds of the stars.

With cell phones now ubiquitous and systems becoming easier for hackers to infiltrate, privacy is becoming a growing concern for celebrities and the general public alike. The unfortunate reality is that those with a working knowledge of computer programming and coding have the ability to hack into otherwise "secure" systems if they choose to devote their time and energy to doing so. It's no different than the ability of everyone else to simply peer into the windows of their neighbors' homes. Everyone "can" do that, but people do not because they know it is an invasion of privacy and it is wrong.

If you want to ensure true privacy in your cell phone usage, you must understand that anything that is on your phone can be fairly easily obtained by hackers if they happen to target you. Protecting yourself is as easy as not keeping any sensitive images or data on your cell phone.
