As news emerged of the iCloud hack, the anonymous staff of AnonIB took the site offline. They were presumably aware that "OriginalGuy," the source of the photos, began to release the images there. The message displayed on the site claimed that it was merely offline for "scheduled maintenance." However, the fact that the site was offline for two weeks, rather than the usual few hours reserved for maintenance, signaled that the site's founders were instead concerned over the wave of attention that AnonIB had come under.

The "Obtained Photos" section of the site, known as /stol (short for "stolen photos") has been completely deleted following the iCloud hack. As Business Insider reported last month, it had previously served as an advertising service where hackers could share their expertise, and as a place for iCloud hackers to pool their resources in search of nude photographs:

iCloud hackers returning to the forum have been able to discuss the celebrity photo leak for the first time after the mainstream press reported on the story. And they're not happy.

Elsewhere on AnonIB, one user complains that only a selection of the stolen celebrity photos were published.
