The Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading the hunt for the hacker who stole photographs of a naked Jennifer Lawrence and other female celebrities, a bureau spokesman said yesterday.

Images of the 24-year-old Oscar-winner began appearing on the website 4chan on Sunday night after the actress's Apple iCloud account was apparently broken into.

Anonymous 4chan users claimed they had photographs of hundreds of women, including celebrities such as actresses Scarlett Johansson and Winona Ryder and models Kate Upton and Cara Delevingne.
