The hacker dude was just curious. He only spent weeks, if not months, looking at stolen photos of Jessica Alba’s nips and Renee Olstead using sex toys, for science. He’s practically Sheldon Cooper. WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LET THIS HACKER BE GREAT?! The hacker is a 35-year-old who fits the stereotype and refers to his mother more times in the below interview than I feel comfortable with. Christopher Chaney recorded his first on-camera interview after being released on a $10,000 bond on Wednesday. Chaney told WTEV that he plans to plead guilty, and face 121 years in jail, and he sounds sincerely sorry and contrite about what he did. He told WTEV he became addicted to the lives of celebrities and he wanted to know more. He used his rudimentary computer skills and did some hacking 101 on personal emails (the stars had easy passwords). He added, ‘I know it was probably one of the worst invasions of privacy someone can experience… These people don’t have privacy to begin with. I was in that little sliver of privacy they do have. [Instead, I] should have just switched on TMZ.’

One person accessed and disseminated the celebrity nudes that have flooded the market in the past year. Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Florida, 35, is facing 121 years in prison. That’s Big Boy Prison, not Lohan Prison where you walk in one side and walk out the other. Chaney ‘s facing serious charges for hacking around 50 celebrities and non-celebrities, exploiting the forward message feature of assorted email providers. He would basically Google the person he wanted to see naked most, then guess their password or security question. He’d forward their emails to his own, then he’d have a bunch of stolen nudes and more celebrity emails to choose from. Chaney offered information and photos to websites for free and he made no money off the hacking. For that Chaney was charged with 26 counts of identity theft, unauthorized access to a protected computer and wiretapping, for which he appeared in Court Wednesday and was released on $10,000 bond. Some celebrities okayed being identified by the FBI, including Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and Renee Olstead. Others were identified by their initials in the suit, including ‘J.B.’ who’s thought to be Jessica Alba. And there’s a mystery celebrity ‘B.P.’
