The 'Ghostbusters' star pokes fun at her website hack incident in a sketch for 'Saturday Night Live' season premiere.

AceShowbiz - Leslie Jones doesn't let her website hack ruin her life. Instead, she found inspiration from the incident and parodied it along with USA's series "Mr. Robot" in a sketch for the season 42 premiere on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, on October 1.
In the sketch, Pete Davidson played Elliot, who is portrayed by Emmy-winning actor Rami Malek on the critically-acclaimed "Mr. Robot". Jones tracked him down to a coffee shop to ask his help to find out "who hacked [her] pics, who got all [her] little nasties."
Turns out it was Jones herself who shared her personal information by accident as she backed up her photos to her online website. "It seems you backed up your photos to your online website," Elliot revealed. "Don't know how you did it, it's actually really hard to do."
Jones' nude photos and most personal information were leaked by racist hackers who cracked the comedienne's website back in August. The Department of Homeland Security later launched investigation into the cyber crime targeting the "Ghostbusters (2016)" actress.
She poked fun at the incident at the Emmys, telling the accountants from Ernst & Young onstage, "Don't nobody want to know about boring Emmy secrets, OK? But since you're good at keeping things safe, I got a job for you: My twitter account! Put that in the vault, please."
The "SNL" season premiere averaged a 5.8 overnight rating among Nielsen Media's metered market households, up 29|percent| from the 2015 opener and the highest since eight years ago. Boosted by Alec Baldwin's debut as Donald Trump, it also rose 35|percent| in a 2.7 rating among adults 18-49.
