Miley Cyrus is the latest celebrity targeted by photo hacking scandal.

Less than one month after Beauty and the Beast and Harry Potter star Emma Watson had private photos stolen and shared online, another big name celebrity has become the latest victim.

Miley Cyrus, 24, has been targeted by the same hackers, with nude and 'topless' images stolen and posted to a website without her knowledge.

It's believed the same group who stole images from Emma Watson and Amanda Seyfried is behind the attack.

Some critics have pointed out that Cyus is widely known for shedding her 'good girl, Disney' image by wearing risqué outfits on stage when she performs, and posting provocative images on social media.

But there's a difference between having control over what images of you are and aren't allowed to be seen by the public, and having private moments stolen without your knowledge or consent.

The images of Cryrus have since been removed from the site after her team threatened legal action.

The star herself is yet to comment on the leak.
