Hackers have been flooding the web with hundreds of rogue links using the pictures to steal personal information and bank details or spread viruses.

“Thousands of people will be searching Google for these pictures right now and the hackers know it,” says Graham Cluley, of web security firm Sophos, who warns websurfers against opening links over possible security threats.

“There are more and more malware attacks targeting both PC and Mac users – so whatever system you use, infection could be just a Click away. My advice is that if you’re a fan of Ashley Greene – go see her movies in the Cinema or on DVD, don’t hunt for naked images of her on the internet.”

The Twilight star, who portrays the role of Alice Cullen in the vampire love story, has threatened to file a lawsuit against anyone who posts the leaked naked pictures online.
