Yanet Garcia hacked: Weathercaster becomes latest celeb victim of Instagram hacking as nude picture is leaked online
Mexican influencer and TV host Yanet Garcia appears to have been hacked after a fake nude picture of the star was reportedly posted on her Instagram account.
The Instagram picture, which has since been deleted, had been manipulated so it appeared to show Garcia in a state of undress with a caption encouraging her 11 million followers to swipe up for a "free 47 minute sex tape."
Garcia, 28, has since shared a similar but respectable image of herself with "esta es la foto REAL" ("this is the REAL photo") – the original picture appeared to have been doctored by the hackers.

The apparent hack follows a similar reported breach of Nicole Scherzinger's Instagram account on Sunday. The post showed the star's head photoshopped on a topless woman's body with a caption which also promised followers access to a "full sex tape."
The image was later removed from Scherzinger's account and stories. Scherzinger has not commented on the apparent hack.

In 2014, a number of celebrities fell victim to a large-scale hack on their iCloud accounts. Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and Kate Upton were among the famous women who had personal photographs leaked online.
In 2016, a man named Ryan Collins pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized access to a protected computer. He received an 18-month sentence.
