Hacker leaks intimate pictures of Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner

One Direction star Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner have become victims of a photo hack.

The former couple's private St Bart's vacation pics leaked online after the One Direction singer's mother Anne Cox's iCloud account was hacked by a fan, reported Us magazine.

More than two dozen photos were obtained and posted on the Internet, causing the unauthorised leak to trend on Twitter as "Anne's iCloud", reported Us magazine.

In the intimate shots, Styles, 22, and Jenner, 20, are pictured cozying up on a yacht in their swimsuits over New Year's weekend.

Several of the pictures also show the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who rocked a barely there black bikini, sitting on the entertainer's lap. Another image shows the adorable pair out to dinner together, as the singer jokingly flips off the camera.

Shortly after the hack, Cox, 48, deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts as fans continued to share the personal snaps from her account.

Twitter deactivated the hackers account. But the user is back with a new account has promised to leak images of Louis Tomlinson and Styles together.

Got tons of Harry pictures with Louis omg. Going to leak them soon

The fandom of the boy band is understandably furious about this breach of privacy. But the hacker considers this to be a favour.

I don't even know why you all are so mad at me, I'm doing you a favour by leaking pictures of your faves
