“Ghostbusters” actress and comedian Leslie Jones’ website was hacked and nude photos and personal information including her passport and driver’s license were posted.
The website was subsequently taken offline.
Several accounts of the hacking said it appeared the website was accessed through Jones’ personal cellphone or iCloud account, which lets users store photos and other content online and access it from any Apple device.
Representatives from Apple Inc and Jones’ have not released an official statement.
After starring in the “Ghostbusters” film this summer, Jones briefly quit Twitter because she was bombarded by racist and abusive comments.
In response, Twitter permanently suspended numerous accounts and said it was taking steps to confront abusive behavior on its network.
