Celebrity Hacker Arrested!

Recently, nude photos and private content on the cell phones belonging to celebrities have leaked online, and FBI have finally nabbed a suspect in the case.

A man from Florida was arrested in connection with the hackings, and FBI believe that the man was a ‘lone wolf’.

TMZ Reports:

The FBI has arrested one person suspected of hacking into the phones of Hollywood stars like Scarlett Johansson and Vanessa Hudgens … and leaking private photos. And, we’ve learned, the FBI is convinced the guy is a lone wolf, who never got a cent for the pictures he stole … he just did it for the thrill.

Law enforcement sources tell us the man is from Florida, and the FBI has known about him for several months, but the U.S. Attorney didn’t take action until now.

Our sources say the man hacked into numerous celebrity phones and then distributed the ill-gotten photos to third parties, never asking for any money. He did it because he got a charge out of it.

The FBI says the investigation was dubbed, “Operation Hackerazzi.”

So far, the identity of the suspect has not been released.

Among the stars who claim they were victimized by the hacker — Ali Larter, Jessica Alba and Emma Caulfield.

Apparently, celebrities haven’t caught wind of the ease in preventing hacked nude photos from surfacing. DONT TAKE NUDE PHOTOS OF YOURSELVES ON A CELLPHONE!

Duh!
