Instagram Reveals How Justin Bieber Nudes Got On Selena Gomez's Account

(Radio.com) Hackers who posted nude photos of Justin Bieber to Selena Gomez's Instagram account exploited a bug in the social network's API, Instagram said in a statement.

The company's spokesperson gave a statement to TIME, explaining that the vulnerability allowed hackers to obtain private information about Selena's account--as well as accounts from other "high-profile" users.

"We recently discovered that one or more individuals obtained unlawful access to a number of high-profile Instagram users' contact information -- specifically email address and phone number -- by exploiting a bug in an Instagram API," a spokesperson for Instagram said.

Selena's 125 million followers were shocked when nude pictures of her ex, Bieber, appeared on her profile Monday, alongside profane captions. Instagram temporarily suspended her account, which was later re-opened without the scandalous posts. Read more here.
