Ryan Collins, 36, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, plead guilty in May to gaining access to at least 50 Apple iCloud and 72 Gmail accounts between November and September Many accounts belonged to female celebrities such as actresses Jennifer Lawrence , Kirsten Dunst and Kate Upton whose nude photographs were released online in what became known as "The Fappening". Collins sent fake emails that appeared to be from Apple or Google to encourage his victims to unknowningly hand over their usernames and passwords. The process, known as "phishing," allowed collins to hack into private email accounts and steal personal information, including nude photos and videos. However, the attorney's office noted that investigators have not uncovered any evidence Collins uploaded or shared the information and images or that he was linked to the actual leaks. A second man, Edward Majerczyk, 29, plead guilty to the same charge in September and is due to be sentenced in January.
