Probe into Pippa iCloud pics hacking

London: Scotland Yard is investigating hacking claims of Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton sister’s iCloud account that contained private photographs, including that of Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The Sun newspaper reported that it was offered the images of the British royal family by someone asking for 50,000 pounds within 48 hours. The photographs of Prince George and Princess Charlotte are believed to be among those that have been hacked from their aunt Pippa Middleton’s iCloud account. “Police have received a report concerning the alleged hacking of a personal iCloud account. Specialist officers are now investigating,” Metropolitan Police said. The haul from the hack is believed to include 3,000 pictures, and the anonymous seller has reportedly tried to sell them via encrypted messaging service WhatsApp. Pippa was maid of honour when the Duchess of Cambridge married Prince William in 2011.
