Clive Brunskill/Getty Images(LONDON) — Police investigating claims that Pippa Middleton’s iCloud account was hacked have arrested a 35-year-old man in Northamptonshire, Scotland Yard said Saturday night.
In a statement to ABC News, Scotland Yard said the man “was arrested on suspicion of a Computer Misuse Act offence and is being taken into custody at a south London police station.”
About 3,000 photos were reportedly stolen from the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister’s iCloud account, according to The Sun. The Sun said a “cyber thief” asked for “a minimum of £50,000 within 48 hours” in return for the private images.
Some of the pictures were reportedly of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, according to The Sun, and there were also allegedly naked photos of her millionaire fiance James Matthews and a shot of Middleton being fitted in her wedding dress.
