Madonna hacker arrest was done by the Israel police on Wednesday. They suspect that the 39-year-old man is responsible for hacking the internationally famous singer's computer late last year and leaked the demo versions of her songs.
The hit maker referred to this case of theft as a "form of terrorism." The songs that were leaked online were from her upcoming Rebel Heart album. It was because of this hack that Madonna decided to rush the official release of six of her songs on iTunes last December.
The cybercrime department of Lahav 433, an Israeli organization that functions like the FBI, was behind the month-long investigation. The firm mentioned that their office worked quite closely with the FBI in order to finally put the culprit behind the bars.
They said, "In light of the findings of the investigation, the unit collaborated closely with the FBI, with suspicion of even more break-ins to computers owned by unknown international artists, stealing, and selling their works."
They said that the suspect allegedly "broke into the personal computers of several international artists over the past few months and stole promotional final-cut singles, which have yet to be released, and traded them online for a fee." There is still no confirmation as to who the other artists were.
The police then opted to put a gag order on the name of the alleged Madonna hacker arrest. However, a local media outlet in Israel have claimed to have already identified the suspect as a former reality show contest from one of the country's major singing contests.
Additionally, hackers seem to be attacking musicians of late. Bjork's record, sadly, was leaked on the Internet just over the weekend. Since the public now had access to her latest album, Vulnicura, two months ahead of the official schedule, she announced on Tuesday that she decided to release it at a much earlier time.
