On Monday, actress Emma Watson spoke at UN meeting in favor of gender equality. The hacker community involved in leaking naked cebrities photos posted furious comments against her. In fact, They threatened to publish embarrassing images of her..
It was not long before a website was created: www.EmmaYouAreNext.com. The site only had a reverse clock, which counted the time for the photo pack to be revealed. And guarantee: " will be the largest leak made so far".
Today, those who visited the page were redirected to the site of a digital marketing agency called Rantic. There, they call on visitors to press for the closing of the 4chan, site being used by hackers to disclose intimate photos of celebrities, captured in iCloud accounts.
They also inform that the www.EmmaYouAreNext.com it was accessed by 48 million unique visitors, was shared by 7 million people on Facebook and quoted in 3 million tweets.
The idea is to take advantage of this audience and get it to send an e-mail to the White House with a text, available at Rantic, that asks President Barack Obama to close the 4chan.
In the text, the company reports that it was hired by celebrity agents who were victims of leaks.

How about this strategy adopted by the agency?

UPDATE 11:58
Rantic is actually a fake " agency & quot;, as well as its website. Another action by an anonymous group dedicated to creating fake Internet campaigns, as explained by Business Insider reporter James Cook: http://www.businesssinsider.com/emma-watson-naked-photo-countdown-hoax-2014-9.
Thank you very much to Denis Budag, who warned us about the fact in Facebook posting!
