Pippa Middleton's hacked iCloud photos banned from publication
London -- The publication of photographs allegedly stolen from Pippa Middleton has been banned by the High Court in the UK.
The sister of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, took civil action against a "person or persons unknown" after her iCloud account was said to have been hacked.
The information retrieved is believed to include 3,000 personal photos of the royal family and of Middleton with her fiancé James Matthews.

On Sunday, the Associated Press reported that Met police had arrested a 35-year-old man in connection with the hacking after The Sun newspaper said the hacker attempted to sell it the illegally acquired images for a minimum of £50,000 ($65,000).
He was later bailed.
The Sun said the hacker went by the name "Crafty Cockney" and claimed to possess a number of Middleton's personal photos with family, along with naked pictures of Matthews.
