There's a lot of speculation around the subject, but according to AnonIB, it was a dictionary attack.

I've heard that some phishing may have been involved as well.

I'm skeptical of that. Not only because faggots on 4chan, but why would it have taken this long to leak Emma pics? I doubt they have hers, if she's taken any at all.

Regardless of its veracity, God people are fucking creepy pieces of shit. The fucking name of that website alone is disgusting, treating it like some epic reveal is...ugh. I fucking hate people sometimes.

Don't you think it's kind of silly to be offended by something created expressly to offend you?

Untrue, if she hated men, she would not be dating them.

Actually, it seems that reaction logically follows, if your premise is correct.

It's like somebody shouting "Look! I'm being offensive!" without doing anything else, and people shouting back "Yes, it's working! We're offended! Offend us harder!". It's silly. It's basically just consciously allowing yourself to be trolled.

Clearly, the only solution is to not be offended.

Obviously you're allowed to be offended by whatever. You can get mad when EJ says dumb things or when Yaakov says racist things, but you will be wasting your time and energy. Even if whoever is responsible for that website does have pictures of Emma Watson, they would have very little power if nobody were offended or cared.

Ugh. Marry! I pressed the wrong button. She is going to marry me. I hope she merries me too, she has a nice mouth, but that's just along the route to marriage.
