Kirsten Dunst criticises Apple for leaked nude photos

Los Angeles - Kirsten Dunst has hit out at Apple after naked photographs of her were allegedly leaked online.

The 32-year-old actress took to her Twitter account on Monday to criticise the American multinational corporation after it emerged that a flaw in its iCloud service may have allowed an unidentified hacker to steal explicit images of her and "100 other celebrities" and publish them on the image-sharing forum 4chan.

She tweeted: "Thank you iCloud," along with a picture icon of a slice of pizza and a piece of poop.

Other stars hit by the scandal include Jennifer Lawrence, Mary E Winstead and Kate Upton, who have all confirmed their nude photos are real.

While Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice are claiming the alleged leaked images of them are fake.

In a statement released on Monday, the FBI has confirmed an investigation into the scandal has begun.

It reads: "The FBI is aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter. Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time."

Meanwhile, Apple is yet to comment on whether its software was to blame for the leaked images.

A spokesperson for the company told the MailOnline: "We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report."
