The man responsible for the appearance online of nude pictures of Scarlett Johansson was this week sentenced to ten years of back-slaps, free beers, nods of recognition and "cheers mate"s.
Hacker Christopher Chaney, 35, of Jacksonville in Florida, pleaded guilty to counts that included wiretapping and unauthorised access to a computer. Prosecutors said that Chaney had illegally accessed more than 50 e-mail accounts of people within the entertainment industry.
District judge S James Otero said when sentencing "these are very grave crimes that affected dozens of people and made them question the trust of those they held closest. In mitigation, since Lost In Translation, we'd all been wondering and now we know and are not disappointed. So cheers, yeah"
