Man behind posting nude pics believes it to be 'good PR' for celebs

Melbourne: The Russian man behind posting the hacked nude celebrity photos online thinks that it is 'good PR' for the celebrities, and would gladly continue to post more snaps if there were any.

28-year-old Sergei Kholodovskii, who claimed to be "in charge of hosting and the technical matters of the site," said that he had taken the images from 'open sources' and wasn't the one who hacked them from the iCloud accounts, News.com.au reported.

He added that he didn't see it as sex abuse, but if someone sued them on the issue, they would just close the website.

More than 100 celebrities' nude photos were published, including Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian and Kate Upton, in what is believed to be the biggest photo scandal, and Lawrence had recently opened up for the first time about the matter terming it as "sexual violation."
