Celebrity Hacker Christopher Chaney Sentenced To 10 Years

Christopher Chaney, who hacked the accounts of Scarlett Johansson (pictured), Mila Kunis and Christina Aguilera, among many others, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in Los Angeles on Monday.

Chaney was responsible for intercepting extremely private information and content of over 50 individuals in the entertainment industry, most notably leaking naked photographs of Johansson, 28, that were intended for Ryan Reynolds, her husband at the time.

"I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed,” Johansson said in a statement. “I find Christopher Chaney's actions to be perverted and reprehensible."

“That feeling of security can never be given back, and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy," Aguilera said in her own statement.

For “Operation Hackerazzi,” as some authorities called it, Chaney rigged the personal email accounts of his victims so that any email they sent would also send to a separate email account, the New York Daily News reports. This was a particularly crafty and creepy method as it couldn't be stopped even if the account holder changed his or her password.

"I deeply apologize," Chaney told CNN back in 2011. "I know what I did was probably one of the worst invasions of privacy someone could experience."

"I didn't know how to stop doing it myself," Chaney later added about the compulsive nature of his hacking. "I wasn't attempting to break into e-mails and get stuff to sell or purposely put it on the Internet. It just — I don't know."

Had Chaney been convicted of every one of the 26 charges he initially faced when he was arrested in October 2011, he could have received a prison sentence of up to 121 years.
