Celebrity victims of naked photo hack join together to sue Google $100M 'for capitalizing on scandal rather than fixing it'

• Anonymous users on 4chan claim photos were stolen from the company's iCloud app
• Lawyers for some of the women involved in the widespread email hack claim Google could have helped stop the images circulated
• The reality star filed a lawsuit against the tape's distributors, Vivid Enetrtainment, which was finalled dropped when she settled for $5 million.
• Invasion of privacy 
• Google being sued for $100M 

A large group of the women whose personal email accounts have been compromised - with the stolen intimate shots of stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian subsequently disseminated online - are now threatening to sue Google for $100 million, according to a new report. Marty Singer has written a letter to Google about this issue and the statement goes as follows: 'Because the victims are celebrities with valuable publicity rights you do nothing - nothing but collect millions of dollars in advertising revenue - as you seek to capitalize on this scandal rather than quash it,'. 

Hackers supposedly uploaded images of famous stars like Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens to 4chan and Reddit, but the latter quickly removed them due to its stringent policy on hacked photographs being shared on the site. I think that itself its not entirety the hackers fault, celebrities are already prime targets for hacking and storing nude pictures of themselves on their phone and cloud storage is a stupid move. Celebrities should take into account that technology is evolving everyday and hackers are become more intelligent at breaching security firewalls and gateways. Just last week the hacking crew Lizard Squad hacked into many big companies like Sony, Apple, Microsoft and the US military by overloading and hacking into the servers via DDOS attacks.
