An unnamed female celebrity has been exposed for an affair with a married sportsman after intimate pictures of the pair was leaked online. While their identities have not been disclosed, the pair are said to be married and the woman involved British.
According to reports, her email and social media accounts were hacked by a cyberstalker.
The creep is then said to have made an error and stored the messages online by accident, meaning evidence of the affair was online for all to access.
Cyber security expert Jeremiah Fowler says he stumbled across evidence of intimate trysts, which had by this time, been circulating online for two weeks.
Along with images and messages on WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok, the stolen information also included invoices and receipts, according to the Sun on Sunday.

Despite having this in his possession, Jeremiah has remained tight-lipped over the identity of the female celebrity. In an interview with the Sun on Sunday, he said: “They were both married. The type of data that was there would have been very damaging. It was clear there was an affair going on with a prominent public person.”
He added: “This information of the affair never appeared in the media but, because the files were exposed for such a long period of time, it is highly possible that someone else accessed them and may release them at a later date or attempt to use them for some sort of extortion.”
Jeremiah claims that he reported his findings to the police and the victim had also been informed of the stolen data by the cyberstalker. But he told the publication that he was unsure if she had also contacted the police.
It’s believed that the stalker used a tool called Cocospy to gain access to information on the celebrity’s mobile. This then enabled the stalker to track them on their device without the star being privy to the gross intrusion.
According to the publication, the spyware had what is called a “stealth mode”, which could also snap screenshots from the device.
Technology magazine Wired had claimed that Cocospy was originally an app for “parental control, tracking and remote surveillance.”
It had allegedly to it users to use it remotely and “100 per cent discreetly” and a disclaimer was added in saying “for legal use only.” It is also believed, according to Mr Fowler, that the female celebrity may have known the identity of the person who installed the spyware onto her device and handled the matter within her circle.
Soon after he stated that he contacted her directly on WhatsApp after finding her number among the information stolen.
He claimed that he tried to reassure her that he was simply informing her that she had been a victim of a crime and had no plans to expose her identity or the identity of the male sportsman.
