Ghostbusters Actress Leslie Jones Targeted In Cyber Attack

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Federal law enforcement agencies have opened an investigation into the alleged hacking of comedian Leslie Jones’ website, according to Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Marsha Catron.

Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones had her personal website hacked this week. The website was taken offline Wednesday after the hack was exposed.

“ICE Homeland Security Investigations in NY does now have an open investigation”, a Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement Thursday.

The Democratic nominee tweeted at Jones Thursday, saying, “No one deserves this – least of all someone who brings us so much joy”. The interlopers posted her drivers license, copies of personal information, naked photos and, because this is the Internet, a video tribute to Harambe the gorilla.

“I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart”, she wrote in July.

After Wednesday’s hack, celebrity friends and fans, including Katy Perry, Alyssa Milano and Ghostbusters director Paul Feig, took to social media to show their support for Leslie.

“Do not give your eyeballs to this racist, hate-filled, misogynoir crime”.

Jones’ website is now offline and she has not tweeted since August 23.

After Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) interjected and permanently suspended numerous users accounts for harassment, Jones returned to Twitter, where her humorous live tweets during the Olympics earned her an on-air contributor role in Rio de Janeiro for NBC.
