A Tumblr user going by "massive-hiddles-fan" has apparently obtained access to Tom Hiddleston's personal Facebook account and has posted numerous private photos of the actor with friends and family to Tumblr. It all started with this seemingly innocuous message...

Then all hell broke loose.

(the link leads [or used to lead] to Tom's FB page)
Even after the fandom blew up and demanded their head on a spike, they weren't done:

And the hacker remains an unremorseful asshole.

The majority of his fans on Tumblr and Twitter are echoing sentiments of invasion of privacy and general douchebaggery. Many fans have Tweeted to Tom (@twhiddleston) apologizing for the disrespectful minority and a campaign has been started to block and report "massive-hiddles-fan" to Tumblr staff for abusebut the blog remains open as this post is being written.
UPDATE: massive-hiddles-fan has now deleted their blog, I guess I slept through it. The last I checked they had their ask box open and the amount of hate mail they were getting was spectacular. They claimed to not have "hacked" Tom's FB and said they were a "mutual friend" but didn't explain more. Sorry I don't have screencaps of this, if anyone does I'll add them to the post.
UPDATE 2: I deleted a couple of the screencaps, I feel too guilty about spreading his pics even if they aren't the originals. I just read that it was his PR that shut down the blog that posted them in the first place (not confirmed though) and I don't want to contribute and be another source of a headache for Tom/his team. Not very ONTDish of me, I know, sorry.
