The hacker responsible for outing SCARLETT JOHANSSON‘s nude pics was arrested by the FBI a few hours ago. Christopher Chaney, 35, of Florida, was busted in a federal operation codenamed “Hackerazzi”. Why, we didn’t know the FBI could come up with such a creative term to describe celebrity nude pic hackers, and now that new word’s been added to everyone’s, let’s hope it doesn’t steamroll into a runaway underground industry…
…unless it already has.
Chaney had been the subject of a year-long FBI search for hackers who’ve been freely dispensing with private photos of celebrities, Hollywood news has learned. In fact, before he was caught, this “hackerazzi” promised a whole load of Mila Kunis nude photos to be revealed online.
It isn’t known whether Chaney acted alone, or was part of a group of “hackerazzi” who’ve claimed to have infiltrated the email accounts of at least 50 celebrities, whose sensitive self-taken digital data have been lifted off their mobile devices. This list includes Vanessa Hudgens, Blake Lively, Ashley Greene, Christina Aguilera, and Rihanna…what, no men?
If convicted, Chaney stands to face 121 years in prison for accumulated counts of hacking.
And so ends the “hackerazzi” saga. Or does it?
