This time Anna Kendrick, who recently joked about the possibility of being hacked, has been targeted. 

Kendrick is clothed in all 87 of the uploaded photos of her, although they appear to be private pictures of her partying, playing dress-ups and smoking.

The 29-year-old actress previously made wisecracks about not being included in the scandal, after her brother tweeted her, saying he was relieved her name was not on the list of hacked stars.

Kendrick, who has starred in Up In the Air and Twilight, spoke about feeling "paranoid" as a result of the scandal a week later.

"I'm paranoid, and with good reason, clearly, as we've learned from the last couple of weeks," she said.

"It certainly makes me sad for the girls who were affected, and bummed out that people won't be able to do that stuff, because it's a part of life and if you want to you should be able to.

"When stuff like that happens, I feel really grateful for my paranoia and really sad for people who are just trying to live their life like a normal person. And I hope that guy goes to jail."

Along with Kendrick,  24-year-old Jennifer Lawrence has again been targeted by the hackers who have uploaded more than 55 naked pictures of The Hunger Games star. 

Other celebrities have also been affected by "Fappening 3", as the latest leak is being dubbed by internet users. (Fap is slang for masturbation.)

Late Friday afternoon, alleged images of stars in various states of undress appeared in download links on Reddit and image board site, 4Chan. The pictures have since been removed.

Among those apparently hacked are Cara Delvigne, Amber Heard and Mena Suvari.

None of the stars have commented or verified the authenticity of the latest batch of pictures, but there are questions about whether some of the shots are real. Faces of the alleged celebrities do not appear in all  pictures.

Prior to Friday's photos, Lawrence and other stars have already begun legal action.  

Among the 100 celebrity victims targeted in the first set of leaked images, which appeared on August 31, were Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande, Bar Rafaeli and Kirsten Dunst. 

Some stars confirmed the stolen pictures were theirs, while others, like singer Ariana Grande, denied the naked selfies were hers.

"Those weren't me. It was funny though," Grande told TMZ. "That's not my room. That's not my cat. That's not my belly button ring. That's not my profile. I was like, whoever that is, I was like alright. No, that's not me.

"It is an invasion. But at least it wasn't me. I don't take pictures like that. I swear, I don't."

A second "fappening" occurred last weekend where images of actresses Amber Heard, Scarlett Johansson and Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel were uploaded. 

As if the latest instalment in the saga wasn't sad enough, hackers are hinting that there is still more to come.

In a video also circulated on Friday, an anonymous narrator claims "there's plenty of links left" and shows a screen shot of rows of computer files.

The images are said to have been hacked as a result of an iCloud security breach, a claim which Apple has denied.

"After more than 40 hours of investigation, we have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the internet," Apple said in a statement on September 2. 

"None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple's systems including iCloud or Find my iPhone. We are continuing to work with law enforcement to help identify the criminals involved."

The Daily Dot, however, is reporting that Apple knew of a security problem with iCloud that lead to the hackings. 

The FBI and Apple are continuing to investigate the allegations.
