Two-and-a-half years on from illegally obtaining and leaking nude photos and videos of over 30 female celebrities, 29-year-old hacker Edward Majerczyk has been sentenced to nine months in prison.
The Chicago native was also ordered to pay US$5,700 in compensation for counselling services for one unnamed victim, The Guardian reports.
The now high-profile hacking took place when Majerczyk sent emails to his victims under the disguise of an internet provider asking victims for their usernames and passwords to private accounts. Majerczyk then accessed the accounts and the illegally obtained photos and videos were eventually leaked to 4Chan.
