The FBI has seized the computers of a Chicago man in connection with the "Fappening" hack of Apple's iCloud system, which saw celebrities' nude photographs published online, a recently unsealed warrant has revealed.

Photographs and videos of more than 100 celebrities were published online last August after an unspecified intrusion into the iCloud platform.

The fruity folk claimed that iCloud accounts "were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions," and not "from any breach in any of Apple’s systems".

Gawker has published an unsealed search warrant, and related affidavit, about the FBI investigation into the event, which corroborates Cupertino's claims.

The affidavit specifies, in its "list of items to be seized", any and all records and materials related to "phishing" and "hacking email accounts, resetting email password, hacking utilities, [and] email forwarding".

Special Agent Josh Sadowsky, of the FBI's Cybercrimes Unit, claimed in the affidavit that an IP address linked to one Emilio Herrera's home "was used to access approximately 572 unique iCloud accounts", between 31 May 2013, and 31 August 2014.
