Encyclopedia Dramatica:Article of the Now/September 2, 2014
The Fappening also known as Celebgate 2014 was an event that occurred on 4chan's /b/ in which a hacker exploited Apple's iCloud, stole hundreds of unreleased celebrity nudes and videos, and proceeded to post them when his bitcoin demands were met. As of this writing the hacker is still posting more nudes, and the smoke is a long way from settling.
Jennifer Lawrence's first brush with the Streisand effect came when she threatened to press charges on everyone posting her nudes on the internet. Shortly after, the hashtag #leakforjlaw started trending, where people would post the hashtag along with their own nudes. This helped spread the word that Jennifer Lawrence's nudes are available for all, and imgur albums quickly racked up over one million hits before being deleted by moderators. Truly a great day for fappers worldwide.
