- Lawyer admits actress took the leaked photographs
- Mila Kunis's phone also allegedly hacked revealing seductive pictures of co-star Justin Timberlake
- Gang have targeted 50 female Hollywood stars for nude shot
- Johansson has never appeared nude in movies
The 26-year-old Lost In Translation star, who has never appeared fully nude in her movies, has been left humiliated after the explicit pictures were published on a website yesterday.
The FBI has, meanwhile, been called in to investigate how the private photographs were hacked from her mobile phone - and it emerged today that it is closing in on the suspected hacker.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ authorities are 'honing in' on the criminal gang, with the identity of one of the ringleaders known to the FBI.
Johansson is the latest victim of the phone-hacking ring thought to be responsible for stealing naked photos and videos from at least 50 female Hollywood celebrities.
Johansson's lawyer today issued a statement making it clear that his client took the explicit pictures.
One of the photographs shows her posing seductively with her top off, while in another her bare behind is visible in a mirror.
The photographs show wallpaper in the background which matches the design in previously seen pictures from inside her bedroom in Los Angeles.
