The Department of Homeland Security is investigating the racist hackers who cracked Leslie Jones's website. The authorities are now on the hunt for those heartlessly stealing her nude pictures from iCloud and released them along with her personal information.

"ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in New York does currently have an open investigation," a spokesperson for the Homeland Security said in a statement. "As a matter of agency policy, we are unable to disclose any information related to an active investigation."

Leslie Jones has been singled out by internet trolls since the release of her movie "Ghostbusters (2016)". Her female co-stars didn't receive as much hate while she was attacked with cruel words. In their latest attack, they posted on her website a video of Harambe the gorilla who was killed at a Cincinnati Zoo this summer before the site was shut down by her camp.

Celebrities have since showed her love and support. Katy Perry tweeted, "Do not give your eyeballs to this racist, hate-filled, misogynoir crime. I #StandWithLeslie [love emoji]." Ellen DeGeneres wrote, "@Lesdoggg you are beautiful & talented & bring laughter into a world that desperately needs it. You are also my friend & I support you."

Emma Watson declared on Twitter, "I #StandWithLeslie." Lena Dunham tweeted, "Let's turn our anger at trolls into love for Leslie Jones and into strategies to protect all the heroines who don't deserve this bulls**t." Josh Gad posted, "What's happened to @Lesdoggg is sickening, disturbing & represents the worst of the Internet."

Jones' "Saturday Night Live" co-stars also have her back. Aidy Bryant said, "So angry, disgusted and sad about this racist violent assault on leslie." Taran Killam wrote, "May many (more) bad things befall the cowards who've attacked my friend, @Lesdoggg. They are the worst of humanity, where she is the best."
