For a few years now, a particular man had been responsible for uploading a number of explicit images over the internet. These images included some of the most explicit images of c4elebrities, from whose phones these images were hacked and leaked on the web. After almost two years, the man behind this whole hacking matter has been brought in custody and charged formally. Recently, the Department of Justice website had a post which stated that the person behind this hideous act is a man who lives in Pennsylvania. He had actually hacked into the Gmail as well as iCloud account of more than a 100 users, out of which, maximum were celebrities.

Ryan Collins, the hacker who is 36 years old, has actually agreed to sign a plea agreement. He had also agreed to plead guilty of felony. He has been charged by the Los Angeles court as he has violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. On the other hand, according to the reports, the case will be shifted from Los Angeles to Harrisburg in Pennsylvania. Here, Ryan Collins is said to get an 18 months prison sentence, which can also be extended as long as 5 years.

The filing has not only revealed a lot of details regarding the sentence of the guilty, but has also stated details on how the person had been able to get into the iCloud and Gmail accounts of all these people. According to the reports in the file, Cooling was a part of a notorious phishing scheme held from November 2012 to September 2014. He would actually send these celebrities mails which apparently seemed to be from Apple and Google, and ask for their log in details. With these details at hand, Collin was able to tap into their iCloud as well as Gmail accounts to do what he had done.
