One day, celebrities will learn to use harder to guess passwords for their email and phone accounts. Yet another celeb’s account has been hacked, this time by a Florida man named Christopher Chaney. He got into Scarlett Johansson’s Yahoo and Apple account, and after shopping around her nude pics to various media outlets, he finally posted them online on his own, after no one wanted to buy them. But this isn’t the first time the Jacksonville, Florida man has hacked into someone’s account. His first time was when he was teenager, when he did a Prudential Life Insurance mail-order fraud to obtain information about people, then stole the identities of those that had similar names to him.

Thirty-five year old Chaney was arrested on Wednesday and is being charged with 26 counts of identity theft, wiretapping and unauthorized access to personal protected computers. If a guilty verdict is given for all accounts, he could face up to 121 years in prison. This is what Chaney had to say for himself, “I didn’t know how to stop myself. It started as a curiosity and it turned into being addicted to seeing behind-the-scenes of what’s going on with these people you see on the big screen everyday.” He told CNN that he deeply apologizes and stated that, “These people don’t have privacy to begin with…I’ve had six months to think about. It eats at me.”

Other celebs that have been hacked (this info was released to show everyone that it could happen to anyone) include Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and Renee Olstead.
