The incident, which primarily targeted female celebrities, involved hackers gaining unauthorized access to personal cloud storage accounts and distributing the stolen images online for the entire world to see. Among the victims were high-profile figures like Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, and Kirsten Dunst. The Fappening highlighted serious concerns about digital privacy, cybersecurity, and the vulnerability of personal data. Additionally, the incident sparked debates on victim-blaming and the objectification of women, as many of the victims faced public scrutiny despite being the ones whose privacy was violated.
