Quotables: Here’s the Guy Who Hacked Scarlett Johansson

It started as curiosity and it turned to just being addictive… seeing the behind-the-scenes of what’s going on with the people you see on the big screen.

Look at this face! If this isn’t the face of sheer remorse, I don’t know what is!

I mean, when I think “Sorry about giving Jenn Frank all those awesome pics of Scarlett’s boobs” (yes, I understand the ecosystem of gossip and the symbiotic part I play in it), I envision a pimply-faced teenaged hacker. How wrong I was! Instead, I should’ve thought of Christopher Chaney, some dude who looks like my best friend’s dad. Oh—except that my BFF’s dad is like 65, while this guy is only 35. But still: Dad, is that you?

So yeah, I’m pretty sure this means I have to start second-guessing where all my photographs are coming from. Eeeww! Ack!

The NY Daily News has much more:

The whole thing started as a way to peek into the private lives of his favorite stars.

Now that he has been charged with 26 counts of computer hacking, aggravated identity theft and wiretapping, he’s certainly sorry. Chaney could be looking at 121 years in federal prison.

“I deeply apologize,” said Chaney. “I know what I did was probably the worst invasion of privacy someone could experience. I’m not trying to escape what I did. It was wrong. And I have to just face that and go forward.”
