Police close in on Hollywood hackers

US police have traced the Hollywood hacking scandal, where nude photos of celebrities were posted online, to two Chicago houses.

FEDERAL agents probing the Hollywood hacking scandal, which led to intimate and semi-nude pictures of stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian and Kate Upton being leaked online, have targeted two houses at the heart of the cyber-crime.

DOZENS of actors and pop stars, mostly female, were left mortified last year when computer crooks accessed remote iCloud storage accounts and stole personal and private photographs which were then widely circulated on the internet.
