A public uproar followed when nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Mary Winstead and Victoria Justice leaked on the Internet through various social media sites such as 4chan, Tumblr, and Twitter.

Fingers are pointing towards Apple, Inc., and charges of breach of system are now up in the investigation, though Apple strongly implies that it is not their fault that the intimate photos were leaked.

"We have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the Internet," said a representative from Apple, as reported by Reuters.

Apple added that they are working closely with authorities to find out those responsible for the intrusion on the celebrities privacy, and if their systems were even remotely responsible for the leaks.

"None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple's systems including iCloud or Find my iPhone," Apple added.

New York trial lawyer, Martin Garbus, who has worked with the likes of Sean Connery and Al Pacino, stated that celebrities he represented had worriedly approached him over the weekend to prevent further leakages to happen.

"Nothing is safe on the Internet, period. Everything on your iPhone, whether it be phone calls, message texts, pictures, is all available," Garbus told Reuters.
