Pippa Middleton Wedding: Photo Hackers Arrested After They Tried To Sell Intimate Shots
Even though Pippa Middleton has got reflected fame as the sister of the future Queen of England, she is still experiencing some of the side-effects of her famed links. Just a few months before she gets married, her wedding plans have got exposed. A couple of hackers got into her iCloud account in order to snitch some of her private photographs.
A 36-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman have got arrested for having gone into her account. Both of them were taken in by the police, and were arrested. Both were in Wellingborough, taken by the cops under charges of having tried to conspire to perpetrate and also keep in their possession "false identity" documents with wrong intentions. At Wellingborough, their property too has been rifled, according to ibtimes.
Last year, in September, when her account got hacked, the poachers had attempted to sell thousands of images to a daily, which included pictures of the royal family, said Sun. Photographs of Pippa in a wedding gown as well as some nude pictures of her fiance, James Matthews, were included in the mix.
An earlier email was sent by the hacker to Sun last year. He had asked for "a minimum of EUR50,000 in a couple of days, for images and data from Pippa's iCloud account."
The hacker had even sent evidence of his hacked photographs. Pippa was in a wedding fitting. Still, the dress she wore was covered. There was one more picture of her mother, Carole Middleton, standing in a church aisle.
"The man and woman were taken into custody at a south London police station and have since been bailed to return to the police station on a date in mid-March," a spokesperson for the London Met Police said.
