Prostate
Cancer
Foundation
of
Australia
has
rejected
donations
by
Reddit
users
who
tried
to
absolve
themselves
of
the
"sin" after
having
looked
at
hacked
nude
photos
of
Hollywood
celebrities.
"A
Reddit
user
directed
other
Reddit
users
to
make
a
donation
to
the
Prostate
Cancer
Foundation
without
the
Foundation's
knowledge.
We
would
never
condone
raising
funds
for
cancer
research
in
this
manner," the
foundation
said
in
a
press
release.
"Out
of
respect
for
everyone
involved
and
in
keeping
with
our
own
standards,
we
are
returning
all
donations
that
resulted
from
this
post,"
the
statement
added.
Over
$6,000
were
donated
by
the
Reddit
users
to
ease
their
guilt
before
the
Prostate
Cancer
Foundation
shut
down
the
charity
page.
Nude
photos
of
actors
Jennifer
Lawrence,
Kate
Upton,
Ariana
Grande
and
Kirsten
Dunst,
among
others,
leaked
online
Aug
31
in
one
of
the
biggest
celebrity
hacking
scandals
in
recent
memory.
The
images,
which
first
appeared
on
image-sharing
site
4chan,
saw
most
of
the
celebrities
nude
or
in
provocative
poses.
A
spokesperson
for
Lawrence
blasted
the
hackers
for
their
"flagrant
violation
of
privacy."
The
Federal
Bureau
of
Investigation
is
now
investigating
reports
that
the
online
theft
of
private
nude
photographs
of
celebrities
such
as
Jennifer
Lawrence
and
Kate
Upton
was
the
work
of
an
underground
hacking
ring.
