How Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy Nudes Leaked

The January/February 2012 issue of Playboy magazine -- featuring a nude Lindsay Lohan and due to hit newsstands next week -- was leaked online Friday after copies of the photos were either hacked or stolen from the magazine and uploaded to a file-sharing website based in Russia, FoxNews.com has learned.

Playboy's full Lohan article, including 10 nude photos and an interview, was available for purchase through a file-storage service via the website Worldmags.net, a digital magazine clearinghouse based out of the Ukraine.

In fact, the entire magazine was made available for download. The person responsible for getting the images on the website tells FoxNews.com that he downloaded over 200 individual files, each containing one page of the issue, and reassembled them page by page to build a final, complete digital copy of the issue.

“I just pieced it together,” the individual, who asked to have his identity withheld, told FoxNews.com through a translator.

Hugh Hefner posted on his Twitter account Friday evening that the issue would be released to newstands early "because of the interest & the Internet leak."

The digital pirate said he found the files after doing a search on peer-to-peer file sharing sites, but does not know the source of the leaked pages, which could have been stolen somewhere in the digital publishing process or hacked from a server.

“All I cared about is how I got them,” he said.

The hacker also tells FoxNews.com that he has done this before, saying it's a hobby for him when he "has the time." He also has received cease-and-desist letters from the men's magazine before.

"When I've done it before, Playboy sent a e-mail to take down the links, and I do," he said.

Playboy did not say how the photos were obtained and published, but confirmed they were taken without their knowledge or permission.

"Someone took photos of Lindsay Lohan's pictorial in an advanced copy of the January/February issue," Playboy told FoxNews.com. "They posted the photos online without permission. We are not releasing any official images or information until Dec. 15."

If Lindsay Lohan’s Community Service Was Salon Service

We haven't heard much of Lindsay Lohan in a bit since all her court drama has settled down. Lohan was in Los Angeles for a hair appointment at the Ken Paves hair salon on December 5, 2011. Good thing she didn't have to deal with any morgues. As long as she has her pack of Parliment cigarettes, bottled water, her iphone, and a lighter - then it's all hot gravy from there.

Lindsay Lohan’s Day In Court

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan arrived at the Los Angeles City courthouse in Los Angeles, California on November 2, 2011 with her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley. Even though the judge Stephanie Sautner sentenced Lohan to 30 days in jail, she will most likely be out faster than you can say freedom.
