TheFappening

The controversy of ‘ TheFappening’ has taken the world by storm. In 2014, nude photos of celebrities were leaked by an anonymous group dubbed “TheFappening”. Dozens of photographs of well-known Hollywood actors, actresses and other public figures were illegally accessed and leaked without consent from their iCloud accounts.

It was immediately evident that these images had not been released with the intention or desire to embarrass their subjects, but to make money quickly. However, this act created a huge uproar in many countries around the world. Although authorities quickly acted to investigate the illegal distribution of nude images over the internet, experts fear that there has beenan increase in public awareness involvingcelebrities with vulnerable online data and privacy intrusion.

Since then, laws have changed worldwide to protect people’s digital rights and property in cases related to security breaches or cybercrimes. This includes penalties for perpetrators who download, disseminate or trade personal information without permission such as photographs and videos belonging to other people or organisations. Due tothese changes, many people now think twice before clicking onphoto links they see online, which are usually connected to celebritiesand verified accounts on social media networks like Facebook and Twitter.

Despite legal action being taken against TheFappening hackers and spreading theseicloud photos, a lot more needs to be done to combat this kind of crime. Governments must work togethermore efficiently for better monitoring ofthe World Wide Web in order toprevent private information frombeing distributed illegallyor traded online.
