50 First Hacks

Hey Everyone,

Now I know many of you are much like myself and are very involved with your technology; you live, sleep and breathe right next to that small device called a blackberry.  The real question is, how personal do you get on your (supposed to be) personal devices, would you be willing to put information on your phones or computers that would devastate you if they were ever to surface. I honestly believe you should not involve yourself, or even have any incriminating information/ pictures on anything that can be hacked and/or seen by other people. Especially if this information can cost your job or reputation, which is what has happen to most of the Female A-List Celebrities in Hollywood.

I do not blame them for being really angry and upset that some strange man hacked into their personal and posted the pictures on the internet. What you do in your own time is no one’s business but your own, however we live in a world where everyone cares too much about what other people which becomes very intrusive.  Christopher Chaney, a 35 year old man was this intruder and was able to expose some explicit pictures of Scarlett Johansson , Christina Aguilera and many more ( by many more I mean he hacked 50 starlets in total) ; unfortunately for him his 15 minutes of fame will soon be coming to an end as he may have to go to jail for a very long time.  Not only did he find this information for his personal needs but he gave some information and pictures to popular blogs, no word on whether he was paid or not. I found an article through ‘Digg’ that actually explains this investigation and how this Man is going to be charged 121 years for cyber sex crimes. Personally I was not aware that you could charge someone for this type of crime but after thinking it definitely does make sense because it is an invasion of privacy and people that think ‘hacking’ is cool should know that there will be severe punishments.

It is really unnerving to think that in people’s spare time they hack into your personal files just because they are curious about your lifestyle. A question that I would like to ask people is: Do you have information or pictures on any personal device that you would not want someone to find, and if so do you think about the possibility of someone hacking into it. I would love you hear your comments about this crime and the man that is behind the “hacks”.
