Many, including Kirsten Dunst, speculated the photos were obtained through a glitch in Apple’s iCloud technology.
Which is why Apple is investigating if the iCloud accounts of the celebrities had been indeed hacked.

So far one guy that claimed to be responsible for the leak has since retracted his statement.
