Naked celebrities cause internet meltdown in New Zealand

New Zealanders lured by links to hacked photos of naked celebrities may have caused a nationwide internet meltdown.

Spark, the giant of the New Zealand business scene caught by malware attacks at the weekend, said it is aware of speculation Kiwi’s got caught on “attractive click bait” by cyber criminals.

There were warnings a few days ago from internet security providers that clicking on links to naked celebrity photographs would be a bad idea.
