They were quickly shared on social media sites Facebook and Twitter just three weeks after the hacker first targeted a number of celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence.

Gabrielle has confirmed her images are real and reportedly plans to call in the FBI to investigate after her iCloud account was hacked.

Gabrielle Union is a victim of the hacker

 "I can't help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time, women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimized, and the power over their own bodies taken from them.

"These atrocities against women and children continue worldwide.

"For anyone out there also being affected by these and other hacking and hate crimes - we send our love, support and prayers. We have done nothing wrong."

Previously unseen images of American goalkeeper Hope Solo and actress Kaley Cuoco also appeared online on 4Chan by the hacker, who posted the first nudes.

The stars, along with Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens, were all of the list of more than 100 possible victims the hacker released.

Jennifer Lawrence 'sex vid' fake

4Chan users are calling out the original hacker claiming a link to a Jennifer Lawrence sex tape does not work.

4Chan users laugh off investigation

Users of the anonymous site 4Chan have laughed off any attempt to catch the hackers and those re-posing the images.

As new snaps of a topless Jennifer Lawrence were shared on a thread this afternoon one user mocked the FBI's investigation.

They posted: "Do they really think that they have any chance of stopping us? We will just make a new thread every time one gets 404'ed."

It is thought the threads are closed once they reach a certain number and new discussions are started as the spread of naked photographs continues on the site.

Kim Kardashian's leaked photo history

If these photos are genuine, it won't be the first time intimate images of the Keeping up With the Kardashians star have been leaked.

In 2007, a sex tape she made with then-boyfriend Ray J was shared online without her consent.

The 39-minute video of Kim catapulted the relatively unknown reality star into megastardom. It also directly earned her about £3million after she struck a deal with the rights holders.

 But Kim has made it clear she never wants any private images of her to turn up in the public domain again .

Speaking about her sex life with hubby Kanye earlier this month, Kim told GQ: "So far as the sex tape is concerned, whether or not we've made another ... If we have it's never something I want to go public.

"[it's] not something I would want anyone else to see but me and Kanye."

Both stars are yet to comment on the latest nude photographs believed to be the reality queen.

Sites trying to delete photos

The new images began appearing on 4Chan on Saturday morning and more seem to be posted every few hours.

According to Uproxx, a lot of the explicit snaps were removed due to the site’s new policy on copyright infringement, but threads full of X-rated photos continue to spread.

Moderators on 4Chan are struggling to get the situation under control as they delete old threads while new ones continue to pop up.

Reddit had previously banned The Fappening thread but multiple new forums have sprung up to help people share the stolen pictures.

More than 60 images of JLaw now on 4chan

More than 60 photographs of Jennifer Lawrence naked and dressed in a variety of lingerie are now circulating on 4chan.

Users are re-posting a link to the full collection of stolen images which shows the Hunger Games actress in a number of uncompromising positions.

The star is yet to comment on the new images but her rep confirmed the previous explicit snaps were real and called the scandal a "flagrant violation of privacy."

Violated: There are no leaked pics of male celebrities

 One photograph also shows the star topless with what appears to be best friend Laura Simpson, who went with her to the Oscars, and another shows the brunette naked on a treadmill holding a glass of bubbly.

The collection also includes a GIF of a woman who looks like Jennifer carrying out a sex act but it has not been confirmed if it is in fact the star.

The Hollywood beauty has been seen a number of times in public supporting rumoured boyfriend Chris Martin at his Coldplay gigs since the first photographs leaked but is yet to personally comment on the scandal.

Users ask how to hack

Users on 4chan have been asking others how to hack people's iCloud accounts after photos of dozens of naked stars leaked online.

Apple is said to be investigating the breach of privacy, along with the FBI, but so far nobody has been able to track down the original hacker, who is believed to be in hiding.

More and more photographs are appearing online this afternoon and users are asking for links to old threads involved in the scandal.

The thread with a link to the full collection of Jennifer Lawrence's nudes has been deleted but the page can still be accessed.

Apple investigating

Some tech experts believe a flaw in Apple's 'Find My iPhone' function may have helped the hacker to steal the videos and photos.

Although Apple has yet to confirm or deny whether its software was the target of the hacking it has quietly issued a 'patch' or fix for the bug, and issued a statement on the issue.

"We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report," said Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris.

Hackers have sneaky tricks

Hackers would need to know a victim’s email address or user name, which is often accessible via mailing lists or news websites.

To obtain the user’s password, the attacker would then have to do one of three things to be able to access the account.

Often they send an authentic-looking email to the user leading them to trick them into handing over their details, use the ‘Forgot my password’ system to reset their account or simply guess it.

Using the ‘Forgot my Password’ system sees the attacker needing to know the answers to a number of ‘security questions’, as well as the celebrity’s birthday - many of which could be found on the internet.

Rihanna snaps leaked

Explicit images appearing to show pop princess Rihanna in the buff have been leaked and are circulating on 4Chan.

Although it has not been confirmed that the photos show Rihanna, the images, seen by Mirror Celeb, show a woman with a striking resemblance to the Barbadian beauty standing completely naked with her back to the camera.

The woman stands with her hand on her head, revealing a trail of star tattoos - identical to those of the popstar- spiralling down her back.

Ri Ri has yet to respond to the photo and we've contacted her reps for comment.

Kim's silence

Kim Kardashian has remained silent across her social media platforms since her alleged nudes were leaked last night.

The mum-of-one rarely goes a day without posting a message to her fans or a selfie.

Her hubby Kanye has also remained silent.

When we contacted her reps they declined to comment.
