Israeli man arrested for hacking Madonna’s computer

January 21st 2015

 

An undercover investigation by the Internet crime unit of Israel’s anti-fraud police resulted in the arrest of a Tel Aviv man suspected of hacking into several musicians’ computers over the course of several months.

 

The suspect allegedly stole unreleased tracks and sold them online.

 

The investigation began after a complaint by a representative for the singer Madonna. The investigation continued in cooperation with the FBI, which led to suspicion of a wider hack of several international artists.

[Halex 1,609]

My thoughts exactly.

 

She must be living in a parallel world If she thinks there's only one person behind the leaks.

[MadonnaLove 6,183]

I doubt that the leaks will stop or illegal trade on the black market....

Wanna bet that dude is (used to be) a friend of Guy Oseary?

Of course it was true. Madonna already knew that...

Weirdly enough, if you google a famous name among collectors, you end up finding pictures of him this reality show. 

 

If that is really true, I wonder why someone who is kinda a celebrity in Israel would get down to some dirty business.

[HolyWater 28]

I hope he serves 20 years in prison....for not leaking Autotune Baby, Trust No Bitch, etc. 

[Yung Rapunxel 2,174]

I hope they leak all from these sessions of course after march

[CYSMM 673]

I hope they leak all from these sessions of course after march

Who?

[Breathless 5,286]

It's become more and more crazy as the years go by..... with the Internet and people who are experts in hacking and all kinds of stuff, unfortunately. I remember the days when it was close to impossible to get demos of any kind. Now they're all over the place!

[groovyguy 63,856]

Luv this

[Halex 1,609]

I still don't buy the hacking thing

[MattyMads 5,489]

Its a big cover up and I hope she isn't that naive to look within her team.

[Drum Dub 1,883]

I still don't buy the hacking thing

me either! this was an insider job

[Halex 1,609]

This leak was a major one AND it happened before the actual release. 

But let's face it : this has been going on for years now. A hacker will do a one shot thing, it's not a full time job yet we've had access to demos, photos outtakes, personal photos, videos etc... on a regular basis for at least 5 years.

That Israel dude is just a scapegoat.

Something about the situation is fishy.
