Chapter 289: Huge Gossip

There was no movement domestically for the time being. Although fans who watched the livestream talked about these things elsewhere, most people chose to keep it secret and were unwilling to spread it.

As for abroad, it had already hit the hot search, but it was not just Miss Luo Quan, but hundreds of celebrities including her who suffered!

A hacker named Mitesdan established a website called "Paradise Island" on the dark web, selling the privacy of hundreds of female stars at marked prices.

Most of this privacy came from mobile phones, and a considerable part came from computers, made into the appearance of folders. After clicking on the star's avatar and paying, you could see categories such as photos, chat records, residence, and private phone numbers.

Mitesdan set prices according to the status of the stars. Some second and third-tier female stars were set at low prices to attract users to pay, while slightly bigger names ranged from thousands to tens of thousands of USD, and even noted whether there were revealing shots.

And for those currently hottest female stars, the unlocking price was settled in Bitcoin, with one coin being tens of thousands of USD!

When this website first appeared on the dark web, not many people paid, and everyone just went to see the free star information.

After seeing a large number of "amazing" photos and videos, everyone's desire to pry into the privacy of stars arose. More and more female stars' information was decrypted, and some people even made a lot of information public on Twitter.

And all these public photos and videos were watermarked with "Paradise Island," so this word hit the hot search on Twitter all over the world in a very short time.

Along with the hot search, there were also many female stars' nude photos.

In the open West, many women like to take such photos or videos; some are artistic photos, some are requests from boyfriends, and others are simply because they want to take them themselves.

It's not like there haven't been leaks of female stars' nude photos before, but none of them have been on such a large scale and involved so many top-tier female stars.

Many female stars who are glamorous in front of the big screen, whether cold or arrogant, this time also let the public see their unknown private side.

As the incident intensified, although Twitter officials quickly folded and banned all related tweets, the source of this information was on the dark web, and it was still continuously outputting outwards.

There is no way, there are too many goddess-level female stars involved this time. Regardless of whether they are fans or not, the public wants to see the other side of these female stars.

Although after the incident came out, many female stars apologized on social media or appealed to everyone to protect their privacy and not to explore and spread it.

However, the effect was not particularly obvious. Many people liked these female stars' tweets and promised in the comments not to watch them, but when the links were really placed in front of them, how many people could resist not clicking?

Anyway, on the Paradise Island website, every female star's privacy had sales figures, and the best-selling one had already sold tens of thousands of copies.

Many users even formed related groups and became second-hand dealers.

After all, not everyone knows how to get on the dark web, and not everyone can have Bitcoin.

To buy the privacy of these female stars, these people spent a lot of money, and now they resell it at a low price to ordinary people who don't have special means but are very curious.

Although they charge less, they can win by quantity.

In short, more and more people are buying female stars' privacy, and the popularity of this matter is getting bigger and bigger. Not only international social software like Twitter, but also many countries' own social platforms have frequently appeared with terms like "Paradise Island" and "So-and-so female star's nude photos."

Interestingly, although the Paradise Island incident also caused a stir in China, with countless people eating melons, except for Miss Luo Quan, there was not a single Chinese female star's name on the website.

Even in South Korea, three or four female idols suffered, but here in China, everyone was safe except for Miss Luo Quan.

Many people eating melons joked that these female stars in China have too low a profile in the world, and even hackers don't bother to steal their information, which is quite dramatic.

However, after teasing these domestic female stars, countless people also began to care about Miss Luo Quan's situation.

As Miss Luo Quan, who had just been promoted to international top tier, Mitesdan listed her as one of the highest-status female stars whose information needed to be purchased with Bitcoin, with a price as high as 3 Bitcoins!

But even so, tens of thousands of people still paid to buy it, ranking third in sales.

Although it is not a glorious achievement, it also reflects Miss Luo Quan's popularity from the side.

After all, Miss Luo Quan holds the title of the most beautiful in the world, and since her debut, she hasn't taken a single large-scale photo, which really makes a group of lecherous fans sigh.

In fact, when Miss Luo Quan just became the most beautiful face in the world, her name hung on the P-site hot search list for many days, but almost none of the clicks were related to her, and even if there were, they were just the vlogs she took when she was studying in Tokyo.

It can be seen that the person who uploaded this video is Miss Luo Quan's "ten-year old fan," who picked out a few segments from so many vlogs where she was dressed the least, which is the combination of short sleeves, shorts, and sandals, which can be considered painstaking.

In addition, there are people trying to make AI face-swapping videos of Miss Luo Quan. Many female stars have encountered such treatment. Although they have strongly condemned such behavior, they are powerless.

And Miss Luo Quan was a little worried when she first knew about this, but later she laughed after watching it.

I don't know if these people's technology is not powerful enough, or if her face is too beautiful, but the appearance after face-swapping is not like her at all.

She also became one of the few female stars who were not poisoned.

As the girl most favored by God, Miss Luo Quan was also not greatly affected in the Paradise Island incident.

Many people paid with full expectations, wanting to see Miss Luo Quan's large-scale photos, but later found that Miss Luo Quan's photos were all group photos with family and friends, or some landscape photos, and there were almost no selfies alone.

Just in terms of photo quality, these on Miss Luo Quan's phone were not even as good as the summer clothes photos released by Chanel before; at least the Miss Luo Quan in those showed more skin.

Disappointment is certainly quite disappointing, but at least Miss Luo Quan maintained her goddess persona, which is good news for fans.

On Zhihu, related questions about the Paradise Island incident have rushed to the first place, with popularity breaking 100 million directly. Also discussed in the questions are which female star has the best figure, and Apple's stock price plummeting, because the female stars whose privacy was leaked basically used Apple phones or computers.

Although many people have tried hard to lower the popularity of this incident, in the highly developed internet, such a worldwide news hotspot cannot be artificially lowered, unless the whole world collectively disconnects from the internet at the same time.

It can only be said that this is the effect that the celebrity effect can have. If it were just the privacy of ordinary people being leaked, let alone a hundred, even ten thousand would probably not cause such huge public opinion popularity.

This time, netizens at home and abroad have opened their eyes, and many big shots who know a lot about the internet have also begun to popularize science in the Zhihu comment section:

"The incident happened quite suddenly, and the original post has long been deleted, but the source of the privacy leak is still there.

The reason why the website has not been banned until now is because it is in the world of the dark web.

Don't look at the internet we use as all-encompassing and huge, but what we can see and search for is actually just the tip of the iceberg of the entire internet world.

Below the ordinary network, there is the deep web. These websites will not appear in search engines, but can be entered through network links. The content is generally those adult websites.

And below the deep web is the dark web. These websites require special engines and methods to enter. On the dark web, you can see all the dark sides of the human world.

The common currency of the dark web is not the legal currency of any country, but a virtual currency called Bitcoin. With Bitcoin, you can buy anything you want.

For example, guns, drugs, people, you can also spend Bitcoin to watch various heavy-taste livestream performances, there is nothing you can't see, only what you can't think of!

The dark web is a lawless place in the true sense, but the number of users is very large. The fact that the Paradise Island incident can become known globally in such a short time is ironclad proof.

However, with such a big fuss this time, it is estimated that foreign cyber police can no longer turn a blind eye. This person named Mitesdan will probably be caught soon, and whether his end is dead or alive is still to be discussed.

Mainly because he offended too many people this time. Even if those female stars whose privacy was leaked don't kill him, the shareholders of Apple will also want to slaughter him.

Because of this Paradise Island incident, the security of Apple phones has been greatly questioned, and the stock price has evaporated by more than 10 billion USD!"

"This matter involves too many people, which is a heavy blow to the foreign entertainment industry. Privacy photos are actually okay, the key is that many chat records that absolutely cannot be seen have been exposed, involving many popular male stars.

This gossip is estimated to be eaten for a long time. The depth of the entertainment industry is a well-known thing, and this time everyone can know how deep the water in the entertainment industry is.

In short, the foreign entertainment industry has exploded, but these female stars in China were directly skipped by hackers because of insufficient influence, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

And the only Miss Luo Quan whose privacy was leaked can only be described as 'holy.' I have never seen such a decent female artist. Not only does she not use dirty words in public, but even in chat records with friends and comments on small accounts, you can't see any dirty words.

It's no wonder that the hacker took the initiative to find Miss Luo Quan to settle privately. It is estimated that he was also subdued by her personal charm and wanted her to pay some money to turn big things into small ones, but he didn't expect Miss Luo Quan to be so tough, preferring to have her privacy exposed rather than bow to evil forces.

But she really has nothing to be afraid of. After all, the most explosive thing in all her privacy is estimated to be the underwear size she bought on Taobao. I didn't see it usually, but I didn't expect her to have 34D. (Dog head)"

"No interest related, but still anonymous.

This Paradise Island incident can be considered to have revealed quite a lot to the public, not just the privacy of female stars, but also human nature.

I am one of the earliest people to pay attention to this incident. When many people were still asking what Paradise Island was, I had already downloaded the information of all female stars. Don't ask me for resources. Although I am not a good person, I don't want to spread it a second time.

On the internet where we can't meet, we can be gentle and eloquent talents, we can be wealthy and boastful big shots, and even elites who control the stock market on Wall Street and laugh at the common people.

However, in the Paradise Island incident, the vast majority are vulgar people who have not yet escaped the two words of food and sex.

After the incident broke out, I have been paying attention to the comments on Twitter and Weibo. Boys, as long as I saw them, they were all asking for resources or links, without exception!

And many girls were also eating melons with a gloating mood. There were also people who appealed to everyone not to spread or pry into privacy, but the response they got was: don't pretend to be a big tail wolf, if I give it to you, you won't watch it, and so on.

Until now, most media at home and abroad are frantically spreading this news, wishing to make such a scandal known to the world. The initiator is still frantically harvesting ill-gotten wealth, while the real victims are still apologizing and begging.

In the comment section of these female stars' apologies, I saw too many shocking comments:

Such as, so your XX is like this.

So you are so wanton in front of your boyfriend.

Don't pretend to be so pure in front of the big screen in the future.

You know it yourself, you are actually a bitch.

I only spent a few hundred yuan to see everything about you.

There are more and filthier ones, so I won't write them out here.

At such a time, these victims should have received protection and encouragement, and the perpetrators should have received legal sanctions.

But now that Mitesdan has become a hero who benefits the public, and these victims are suffering from slut-shaming.

This world should not be like this, but the internet isolates people's direct gaze, allowing more people's true faces to be revealed unscrupulously.

Here, you can express your opinions at will, comment on others without having to take any responsibility. Good and evil are split to the extreme here, and people's hearts are also split to the extreme.

Actually, thinking about it carefully, it's quite scary. The people around you in reality are gentle and well-dressed, but when they reach the internet, they become more terrifying than man-eating beasts.

Beasts eat people to survive, while some people just do it for desire.

I don't say this to stand on the moral high ground and boss everyone around. I just hope that everyone will have less malice and more sympathy for these female stars.

You cannot let kindness become the epitaph of the kind."

This answer came out and immediately caused a huge discussion, and was even translated into English and posted on Twitter.
