sotos8 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Israeli accused of selling unreleased tracks as well as collecting huge archive of e-mails and pictures; says he knows it was unethical, 'but who the f*** cares?' An indictment was filed on Tuesday with the Tel Aviv Magistrate Court against Lederman told the police during his interrogation that "it's true that it's unethical, but who the f*** cares?" The indictment says that some of the singer's team and her musical manager kept music files on their "cloud", allowing them to be accessed with the proper username and password. The prosecution claimed that during 2014, Lederman monitored these e-mail accounts and received all e-mails as they arrived. He saved tens of thousands of communications from these accounts, as well as pictures, music, and documents Among the files Lederman obtained were songs slated to appear on Madonna's then-unreleased album "Rebel Heart". He has been accused of selling copies of the songs, as well as the e-mails and pictures, for sums ranging from around $20 to over $1,000. The indictment claimed that Lederman continued to hack into computers after he was arrested and released. It reported that among other things, he managed to steal files including recordings of rehearsals for the Grammy Awards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonluvsmaddy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 An Israeli man arrested last month for allegedly hacking Madonnas private accounts and stealing demos of her unreleased album first began targeting the singer way back in 2012, according to authorities. He apparently hacked not only cloud storage accounts to steal and sell her music but also breached more than a dozen email accounts associated with the singer, including one connected to her manager. Adi Lederman, a 39-year-old aspiring singer, allegedly began his hacking spree the same year he auditioned on air for the Israeli TV talent show Kohav Nolad (A Star Is Born). When Lederman was booted from the show he allegedly channeled his disappointment into hacking. Authorities say he hacked into a cloud storage account belonging to someone on Madonnas team and copied an early version of the song Give Me All Your Luvin' from her earlier album MDNA. Then last March, authorities say he broke into three different cloud storage accounts to obtain demo files from Madonnas new album Rebel Heart, and hacked into an email account belonging to the office of Guy Oseary, Madonnas Israeli-born manager. He also hit 15 other unspecified email accounts. According to the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot, Lederman set a system up to receive copies of all e-mails sent to the accounts, amassing tens of thousands of emails, photos, music files, and documents. Among the files he stole were songs for Madonnas upcoming Rebel Heart, which is slated to be released March 6. The singer called the breach artistic rape and a form of terror. Following the leak of the unfinished demo songs, Madonnas team released the final versions of six of them through iTunes. In addition to her songs, Lederman also reportedly stole a rehearsal tape for Madonnas 2015 Grammy performance. Lederman allegedly sold the music files, emails, and photos for as little as $20 to more than $1,000. A copy of the indictment, obtained by the Hollywood Reporter, reportedly identifies two potential co-conspirators who go by the names Craig Lunti and Tom Hann. Authorities say that following Ledermans arrest last month, he ordered Lunti to delete their correspondence to thwart the investigation. The Israeli has been charged with four counts, including computer trespassing, prohibited secret monitoring, copyright infringement and obstructing an investigation. Lederman was arrested in Tel-Aviv following a joint investigation by the FBI, the internet crime unit of Israels anti-fraud police, and an Israeli private investigator. Madonnas manager Oseary contact Asher Wizman, the private investigator right after the December 17 leak of demo songs from Rebel Heart. According to Alon Levy, head of high-tech investigations for Wizman Yaar Investigations, Oseary contacted his firm because it handles a lot of international investigations. An expert sent to New York to examine Madonnas computers then confirmed that the hack had originated in Israel. Levy told WIRED that his team spent a couple of weeks conducting an undercover investigation and surveillance before contacting police with what theyd found. After the undercover investigation they were sure that this is the right connection, and then we [contacted] the police, he said. In a raid of Ledermans home, police seized computers and media storage devices and discovered that Madonna wasnt the only victim. Lederman had allegedly hacked the computers of several international artists in order to steal unreleased demos and final tracks to sell. During Ledermans audition for Kohav Nolad in 2012 judges asked him what he did for a living. He replied, Mainly wasting my life away, it seems, because Im told that I should be on stage. For his audition, he sang the Stevie Wonder tune Dont You Worry About a Thing. http://www.wired.com/2015/02/aspiring-israeli-singer-indicted-hacking-madonna-since-2012/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well that's a whole different ballgame. Digital film, amounting to about 60GB for every 11-12mins of footage being scanned, cut and edited in it's own specialized film studio somewhere by Madonna and her editor. It's not something that's easily transportable onto a cloud or via email or anything else. It's virtually unmovable until the final print or the "downmix" is you will, is done. Wav files on the other hand are piss easy. Which isn't to say that some people didn't have the final version shortly before it aired on epix, cos they did.

Chris_Tanasoff Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 But the album leaked after he was arrested... It also leaked AFTER several listening parties took place. The notion that this guy is a "fall guy" is ridiclious. The suggestion that it wasn't him (in this instance) due to the fact cloud didn't exist back during the RIT times etc is also ridiclious. This was a different kind of hack to what Madonna had faced in the past. Having access to her cloud gave him access to a lot of personal information and he had made contact with her team and was making "threats" and taking requests from fans on what they would like to see released. The idea that there is some big conspiracy on FBI level that filters down to local law enforcement is just so cringeworthy. He broke the law - there's evidence to suggest that. he was indicted.
