130 Celebrities’ Email Accounts Hacked; Hacker Stole Movie Scripts and Tapes

A Bahamian man has been arrested and charged with hacking into the email accounts of 130 celebrities and stealing the unreleased movie and TV scripts, tapes, explicit images and even the upcoming album of a famous A-List Celebrity. The hacker named Alonzo Knowles contacted a famous radio host to sell the stolen scripts for the first six episodes of a hit television drama currently being filmed. Homeland Security cooked up a sting operation and had the radio host put the hacker in touch with an undercover investigator posing as an interested buyer. The incident was neither linked to the stolen celebrity photos leaked late last year nor Sony Pictures hack.
