Photographs that purportedly show singer Rihanna in the nude were leaked online on Sunday night, weeks after hackers released similar images of other Hollywood stars.

The FBI and Apple are investigating after pictures downloaded from the celebrities' personal Apple accounts were leaked on September 1.

The hackers created a list of 101 famous women of whom they said they intended to post pictures.

The victims of the latest hack are believed to include British model Emily Ratajkowski, Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens and Aubrey Plaza.

The Daily Mail reported that actress Meagan Good, the Think Like a Man and Anchorman 2 star, confirmed that naked pictures that appeared online were of her, saying they were intended for her husband.

''I'm definitely in shock. Saddened for everyone who is experiencing this. But I choose not to give the persons responsible my power,'' Good said in a message posted on Instagram.

In a previous statement, Apple said: "None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple's systems including iCloud or Find my iPhone.''
