News background: On January 28, two unseemly photos of film and TV stars Gillian Chung (Acho), Bonnie Chen and Edison Chen appeared on the Hong Kong Golden Forum (HKGolden.com). In the following few days, more obscene nude photos were uploaded, involving more than 20 celebrities including popular "pure" star Nicky Chan. The Hong Kong police intervened in the investigation at the first time and arrested several suspects one after another. According to preliminary investigations, the cause of the incident was that when Edison Chen sent his laptop to a computer shop in Central, Hong Kong for repair, the shop assistants took out more than a thousand photos and made them into discs, which were then distributed to friends and other people for viewing.

However, not long after, a mysterious person posted more than 200 new batches of related unseemly photos on New Year's Eve, which were even more obscene. On February 9, a mysterious photographer who claimed to be "Kira" released more than 200 photos again. Afterwards, the photographer moved to North America and continued to release unseemly photos using servers from the United States and other countries, leaving the police at a loss for a while.
