FBI Arrests 'Lone Wolf' Hacker Christopher Chaney in Scarlett Johansson Nude Photos Case

The FBI gave a press conference at 11am PT/2pm ET, in which it discussed an arrest made in connection to the Scarlett Johannson nude photos that hit the web recently. Christopher Chaney was charged with aggravated computer hacking, identity theft, and wiretapping.

Christopher Chaney, a resident of Florida who went by "Gook" on 4Chan, was not connected to Hollywood Leaks, and was apparently in it for the lulz. TMZ says that the FBI referred to the case as "Operation: Hackerazzi".

Other victims of the hacker include Ali Larter, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Alba.

Chaney was released from custody and banned from using the internet; yes, this was part of the plot of Swordfish.
