Uncool hacker blamed for unrevealing swimsuit photos of singer Victoria Justice

American singer Victoria Justice is not happy that someone (she blames a hacker) has leaked swimsuit photos of her onto the internet.

I’ve never heard of Victoria Justice, which may mean that the 20-year-old singer isn’t targeting my particular demographic, but she’s clearly famous enough to make headlines when she claims that the photos published of her were stolen by a hacker.

Media who covered the story described the leaked photos as “semi-racy… but nothing of the R-rated variety, showing Victoria fully clothed but in a bathing suit”.

Clearly, however, Justice – who has her own show on Nickelodeon called “Victorious” – was not amused and is seeking, err, justice.
