    The hacker who stole nude photos of female celebrities in 2014 has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, officials announced on Thursday.

    In a court in May, Ryan Collins, a 36-year-old from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to federal hacking charges and admitted to a two-year phishing scam to gain passwords of more than 100 people, including actors Jennifer Lawrence and Aubrey Plaza and singers Rihanna and Avril Lavigne.

    I was trying to describe myself to someone

    I can't help but feel that 18 months for such a deliberate act to invade people's privacy and steal their personal data is a bit lenient.

    i may get better but we won't ever get well Prestigious

    that's fucked. dude violated their privacy and spread it across literally the entire internet. i don't think you can overestimate how overwhelmingly horrible that must feel, especially for people in the public eye.
