Jennifer Garner at the premiere of Men, Women & Children at the Toronto International Film Festival.Arthur Mola—Invision/AP  by [Nolan Feeney](/author/nolan-feeney/)  ## Nolan Feeney Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Sep 11, 2014 9:19 PM CUT Here’s one way to keep your sexy photos from getting stolen and published all over the Internet: Take polaroids instead. “That’s what we do at the Affleck house!” Jennifer Garner joked during a recent [interview with _Vanity Fair_](http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/2014/09/jennifer-garner-men-women-and-children "undefined") about her new drama, _Men, Women & Children_, which takes a look at the role technology plays in sex and intimacy today. “We have a stack of sexy polaroids.” Garner’s “tip” comes in the wake of dozens of celebrities falling victim to their nude photos being leaked, the apparent result of a hacker infiltrating a backup storage service. And it’s pretty solid “advice,” too, even if she doesn’t really have those pictures — as a mom of three, she’s concerned about the risks that the Internet and social media pose to her kids. “It makes you feel kind of sick to your stomach,” Garner said about the movie, in which she plays an overprotective mom who’s so concerned about her teenager’s online activity that she monitors all their digital communications. “With parenting, how I feel about it, and specifically my character I guess, you’re just trying to get it right. You’re trying to do right by your kids and you’re trying to protect them.” \[[_Vanity Fair_](http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/2014/09/jennifer-garner-men-women-and-children "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3329483/jennifer-garner-sexy-polaroids-hackers/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3329483/jennifer-garner-sexy-polaroids-hackers/"},"headline":"Jennifer Garner Jokes About 'Sexy Polaroids'","datePublished":"2014-09-11T21:19:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:08:41.079Z","description":"\"That's what we do at the Affleck house!\"","url":"https://time.com/3329483/jennifer-garner-sexy-polaroids-hackers/","keywords":["celebrities","Social Media","Jennifer Lawrence","Ben Affleck","Jennifer garner"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2c29bd8d7f3e109e/6986a2ebcd804dae1fcccb69/jennifer-garner.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2c29bd8d7f3e109e/6986a2ebcd804dae1fcccb69/jennifer-garner.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jennifer Garner","caption":"Jennifer Garner","creditText":"Arthur Mola—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3329483/jennifer-garner-sexy-polaroids-hackers/","name":"Jennifer Garner Jokes About 'Sexy Polaroids'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How To Protect Your Selfies from Hackers","description":"A little safety can help save your skin from ending up on 4 Chan.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/VbTXeRNE/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-09-03T20:19:14.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/VbTXeRNE.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3329483/jennifer-garner-sexy-polaroids-hackers/","duration":"PT1M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3329483/jennifer-garner-sexy-polaroids-hackers/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
