A man from Florida was indicted on charges of hijacking an email from Christina Aguilera, Sraclett Johansson and Mila Kunis in the scheme of invasion of the computer, where the target is Hollywood celebrities.
Christopher Chaney (35) of Jacksonville has been arrested without resistance, the fruit of the investigations carried out during the year. Hackers who dubbed 'Operation Hackerazzi' is expected to appear in a Florida courtroom on Wednesday next week. He was charged with 26 charges of identity theft, illegal access through a computer connection that is protected, and tapping.
Authorities said Christopher should be responsible for stealing nude photographs taken of Scarlett Johansson, who then directly posted by him on the internet.
"Christopher offers some of the ingredients for a celebrity blog site, but there is no evidence that he profited from these blogs," said Steven Martinez, assistant director of the Los Angeles FBI office.
There are more than 50 victims, including Mila Kunis, actress Renee Aguilera, and Olstead. Other artist names are mentioned only by initials. Further investigation will not be done because Christopher has been proven guilty.
Christopher hijacked email account with Google, Apple and Yahoo in early November to February. Then, he hijacked the forwarding feature so that a copy of every email sent the celebrity will be sent to their email anyway.
Christopher was accused of damaging e-mail servers that caused losses of at least $5.000. Authorities did not say whether Christopher was able to access email accounts via the phone, but clearly he could find a secure password to the account of the celebrity.
Investigators hope the celebrity of data security in cyberspace can be further enhanced by the server in question. It is very important to protect their personal information that are not easily identified and hackers hijacked
