TYT: 'The Fappening' Perpetrator Caught?



The FBI claims that they have a suspect in custody for the 2014 event called ‘The Fappening.’ The Fappening resulted in the hacking and leaking of celebrity accounts, releasing hundreds of pictures of famous women nude online. Ana Kasparian, Hannah Cranston (ThinkTank), Keith Powell (Keith Broke His Leg) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Did you look at any of the pictures from The Fappening? Let us know in the comments below.

“Nearly two years after hundreds of nude celebrity photos were leaked in a scandal that came to be known as the Fappening, new court documents reveal the name of the FBI’s top suspected hacker: Ed Majerczyk.

Majerczyk, a Chicago man, is accused of phishing his way into sexually explicit photos from celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Justin Verlander, Kirsten Dunst, and others. In total, there were more than 100 victims, according to court documents obtained by Gawker.

Although the documents closely outline a long series of alleged felonies, no one’s been charged for any crimes yet.

The documents recount how Lawrence—who called the leak a “sex crime”—lost access to her iCloud account and then received false support emails from the likes of fake emails like appleprivacysecurity@gmail.com and fake domains like applesecurity.serveuser.com.

Lawrence forwarded a fake password reset phishing email to her assistant, a move that might have given the hacker full access to her iCloud account.”
