Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones has suffered yet another round of online abuse.
On Wednesday morning, Jones’ personal website was hacked and vandalized by online attackers, who managed to break into the actress’ iCloud. The hackers, who are still unknown, posted nude photos of Jones along with her driver’s licence and passport information. They even posted her phone number.

Her website, which has already been taken down, also had pictures of Harambe, the gorilla killed at an Ohio zoo earlier this year, plastered all over it.
Jones was previously harassed online by racist attackers, who compared her to Harambe. Jones took on the attackers, calling some of them out for being racist and sexist; she then quit Twitter for a brief period.
People on Twitter sent their support to the comedian:
Ghostbusters director Paul Feig supported Jones, while chastizing the hackers as “sad.”
Jones is a celebrated comedian, and has been a cast member on Saturday Night Live since 2013. Most recently, she live-tweeted the 2016 Olympics and served as a special correspondent for NBC.
Many other female celebrities have fallen victim to online hackers, including actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Kaley Cuoco, who both had personal photos posted without their permission.
Sony Pictures (the makers of the 2016 Ghostbusters film), Jones’ rep and Jones herself have not commented publicly on the hack.
