Hacking suspect arrested for allegedly stealing and selling unreleased Madonna tracks

An undercover investigation by the Internet crime unit of Israel’s anti-fraud police resulted in the arrest of a Tel Aviv man suspected of hacking into several musicians’ computers over the course of several months.

The suspect allegedly stole unreleased tracks and sold them online.

The investigation began after a complaint by a representative for the singer Madonna. The investigation continued in cooperation with the FBI, which led to suspicion of a wider hack of several international artists.

:D :D Imagine a mass arrest for all the leak listeners. Hope they all pre-ordered the album already, otherwise it won't chart when everbody is in jail.

Was he the one that leaked GAYL? Jorge was the fall guy for that, but they let him go cause his IP didn't match up with the actual person who leaked it. The authorities stated they knew who it was, but never persuaded the case any further...

If this happens to be the same guy, they could have prevented ALL of this.

The IP came to a remote location and the authorities went to it. They busted down the door and there M sat in a room full of money. :lmao:

Truth is we are all guilty! If we count how many threads have been generated by our need to know about the songs and all the talk and speculation about the new album we should be all responsible. I only listened to Rebel Heart and Wash All Over Me but that doesn't take away the fact those demos were stolen! So it's only fair to admit to it.

It's exactly the same with anything else out there where there is a demand and people will do any sort of illegal or criminal activity to gain from it. Drugs or furs come to mind... If it wasn't for the insatiable demand by certain individuals people wouldn't go to certain extremes to satisfy those demans.

This is a lesson we all have to learn... It's very easy to point fingers but maybe we should point fingers at ourselves, too.
