Nude photos of "Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande and Kirsten Dunst, among others, leaked online Sunday morning in one of the biggest celebrity hacking scandals in recent memory.
The images, which first appeared on image-sharing site 4chan, show most of the celebrities nude or in provocative poses.
A spokesperson for Lawrence blasted the hackers for their "flagrant violation of privacy."
"The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence," her representative warned.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, another actress exposed in the leak, immediately took to Twitter to denounce the photos.
To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves.--

It's unknown how the risqué photos made it to the web but celebrities have been a big target of phone hackers of late.
In 2012, a man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for posting nude images of Scarlett Johansson to the web.
Other victims of phone hackings in recent years include "Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks, Blake Lively and Olivia Munn.
