'That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy,' Aguilera wrote in a statement before Chaney's sentencing. 'I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed,' Johansson said in a tearful videotaped statement played in court at Chaney's sentencing in December 2012. Johansson, Kunis and Aguilera were hacked by a Florida man, Christopher Chaney, who used publicly available information to hack into the email accounts of more than 50 people in the entertainment industry. Last year, a site posted credit reports, Social Security numbers and other financial info on celebrities, including Jay Z and his wife Beyonce, Mel Gibson, Ashton Kutcher and many others.

Private information and images of celebrities are frequent targets for hackers. 'Once images and other data are uploaded to the cloud, it becomes much more difficult to control who has access to it, even if we think it is private.' 'It is important for celebrities and the general public to remember that images and data no longer just reside on the device that captured it,' security researcher Ken Westin wrote in a blog post Monday. Some cybersecurity experts speculated that hackers may have obtained a cache of private celebrity images by exploiting weaknesses in an online image-storing platform. Some of the images were quickly denounced as fakes. How widespread the hacking of celebrities photos was is not immediately clear.

The FBI has investigated previous leaks of nude celebrity images, including leaks involving Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and footage of television sports reporter Erin Andrews in a Tennessee hotel room. 'Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this,' Winstead wrote. Winstead, who starred in Final Destination 3 and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, wrote that she thought the images had been destroyed. 'To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves,' Winstead posted on Twitter. Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead also confirmed that nude photos of her were posted online.
