LOS ANGELES — Department of Homeland Security investigators said Thursday that they are investigating the hack of Leslie Jones' website that revealed several private details of the actress-comedian's life.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of Homeland Security Investigations, said Thursday that its New York office is investigating the hack that exposed the driver's license, passport and intimate photos of the Saturday Night Live star, along with hateful and racist images.
ICE Public Affairs Officer Rachael Yong Yow said the agency does not release information related to active investigations. Jones' website was taken offline after the hack was exposed Wednesday.
The Ghostbusters actress was also targeted on Twitter last month with a barrage of racial slurs and obscene photos. She called on the social networking service to do more to curb harassment, and Twitter banned several users as a result.
In recent years, Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and Kate Upton have been among Hollywood actresses who've had stolen nude images of themselves posted online.
No charges have been filed against those who hacked and posted images of Lawrence, Upton and numerous other celebrities in a large dump of intimate images of celebrities in August 2014.
