LOS ANGELES: The US Department of Homeland Security is investigating a new incident involving actress Leslie Jones, who has been targeted by online abusers, after hackers posted nude photos and personal information on the “Ghostbusters” star’s website.
“The investigation is currently ongoing. In order to protect the integrity of the case, no further details are available at this time,” Rachel Yong You, a spokeswoman for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an e-mail to Reuters.
ICE, as the agency is known, is a branch of the Department of Homeland Security. Representatives for Jones did not immediately respond to requests for comment. On Wednesday, Jones’ website, www.JustLeslie.com, was taken offline after nude photos and photos of the comedian’s passport and driver’s license were posted, reportedly accessed through her personal cellphone or iCloud account.
The hackers also juxtaposed images of the actress with photos of Harambe, a deceased gorilla.
