>CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago man was sentenced Tuesday to nine months in prison for hacking the electronic accounts of 30 celebrities and stealing private information, including nude videos and photos.

>Edward Majerczyk, 29, also was ordered to pay $5,700 in restitution for counseling services for one undisclosed celebrity victim whose photos were disseminated online.

>Majerczyk is accused of orchestrating a "phishing scheme" that illegally accessed more than 300 email and other online accounts, including those belonging to actress Jennifer Lawrence.

>According to his plea deal, Majerczyk sent emails to his victims that appeared to have come from internet service providers seeking usernames and passwords. Majerczyk illegally accessed the accounts of those people who provided that information.

>Majerczyk pleaded guilty in federal court in Los Angeles last year to one count of unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information. He signed a plea agreement for his case to be transferred to Chicago. He was not charged or accused of selling or posting the material online.

>Both sides agreed he should receive a 9-month prison term. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

>Majerczyk's attorney Thomas Needham said in a court filing that his client was "suffering from depression and looked to pornography websites and internet chat rooms in an attempt to fill some of the voids and disappointment he was feeling in his life."

>Needham said in a sentencing memo that the fallout from the hacking scandal "deeply affected" Majerczyk, who has seen a therapist for anxiety and panic attacks.

>Federal agents have said Lawrence broke down and became distraught during a 2014 meeting about nude photos of her that appeared online. Lawrence called the leak a "sex crime" in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.

>Majerczyk is the second man arrested in connection with the "Celebgate" scandal of 2014. A Pennsylvania man, Ryan Collins, 36, pled guilty to a felony violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and was sentenced to 18 months in October 2016.

>The FBI said Collins engaged in a similar "phishing scheme" to obtain access to his victims' accounts by sending emails that appeared to be from Apple or Google, asking for usernames and passwords. When the victims complied (FBI Tip #1: Don't ever do this), Collins used his illicit access to steal "personal information including nude photographs and videos" from his victims' accounts.

>As with Majerczyk, Collins was not charged with actually sharing or uploading the private photos of female celebrities online.

celebrities don't have personal privacy, it's even in the constitution. Anyway, I'll bet this article just reminded people that those nudes are out there and has redirected a lot of traffic to whatever sites are hosting them now. In fact, I'm gonna go find them right now. This fap is for you, Eddy

Yeah because the parents that let tablets and TV raise their kids are way better role models.

Also, this whole thing was a phishing scam? How the fuck does anyone under 40 not know that no company will ever ask you for login info through goddamn email, and anything that does is obviously a scam?

tech-illiterate people are out there, and as computers become more and more of a black box to the common public, the easier it will be for people to steal information. I mean hell, people will google how to use google, it's not like this is some unheard-of phenomenon.

Fucking hell

When will people understand that if you send nude photos via the internet that that does NOT keep them private and you are putting yourself at risk of something like this?

I mean I've sexted a bunch and I am well aware that just because I delete the pics does not mean that they are gone, and if someone were to spread my stuff around I'd realize that ultimately the blame lay with me for putting it out there in the first place.

If you don't want people to see what you look like naked, don't take naked pictures. Or take them and put them in a physically secure location.

But no, we misuse and abuse the technology the internet has provided us with and when it bites some Hollywood starlet in the ass (which by the way if you are even a tiny bit famous you should KNOW better) she calls it a "sex crime." Hey lady, you took the fucking pictures and stuck them in the cloud. Own up to your part in the matter.

Frankly, if you are a public figure, I don't know how you can ever assume that your stuff is totally private. It comes with the fame. Deal with it.

Fucking this.
I was reading an article recently fearmongering about password security, and it's like "oh, these emails are are so sneaky, they ask for your password and you put it in and just like that it's all over!"
Bitch, why would you ever put in your password? No shit, passwords are useless when you give them away to anything that asks.

Thank god people this stupid exist plentifully enough that no one will likely ever come after me.

Anyone else remember when the internet first became mainstream and it was just a given that every single person you'd encounter should be treated as if they're secretly an axe murderer trying to get you to tell them where you live?

When did it become "hey, feel free to send out the most personal information possible, nothing bad could happen!"?

Like, I do sympathise with victims of this stuff, and victimising people this way is wrong and is rightly punishable. But it's not like it's fucking hard to avoid. You have to go out of your way multiple times to get done in by this shit.

It's like I tell people at work: Do you walk in the street and give your house keys to the first person that asks for them? The Internet is the streets, watch your back.
