Attack of the Celebrity Hackers! (Some Victims: Lady GaGa, Justin Timberlake & Ke$ha)

Telegraph:

Two German hackers gained access to the computers of over 50 pop stars, including Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga, in an attempt to steal unreleased songs and issue blackmail threats over intimate photographs, prosecutors have alleged.

The pair, according to German police, used nothing more than perseverance and simple invasive programs called Trojans, which can break into private computer networks. But they are alleged to have hacked into the computers of a string of world famous stars and downloaded hundreds of documents including music, credit card details, emails and photographs.

Their haul included a picture of the American singer Kesha, reportedly naked and having sex. Prosecutors said that the two had tried to blackmail the 24-year-old singer, but no money changed hands.

Happy with their success, the duo allegedly bragged on internet forums about their ability to hack into the computers of A-list celebrities. But prosecutors believe their main goal was unreleased musical material, which can fetch high prices on the internet. They sold some of the music they had obtained.

“Basically we are talking about illegal, bootlegged publication, and spying using Trojans,” state prosecutor Rolf Haferkamp, told the newspaper Neue Ruhr/Neuer Rhein Zeitung. “The trick itself is nothing special. All it requires is a bit of know-how and perseverance to achieve criminal success.” He added that the hacking had forced a number of singers to bring forward record release dates.

The alleged crime came to light only when fans of Kelly Clarkson, another targeted singer, tipped her off about unreleased music available on the internet. She informed the police, triggering an investigation involving the FBI and the German Federal Police Service.

While the two, a 17-year-old from Duisburg and a 23-year-old from the nearby town of Wessel, have not been charged, some newspaper reports claimed they had already confessed to the police.

Sven Kilthau-Lander, Universal Music’s director of public relations in Germany who is responsible for the publicity of stars Lady Gaga and Rihanna, told a local newspaper: “It’s really frightening. One can’t feel safe anywhere.”

Charlie Sheen Needs The Wraith

TMZ:

TMZ has obtained a series of text messages between Charlie Sheen and Capri Anderson, sent just hours after The Plaza Hotel incident -- in which Charlie is still flirting with her in a big way as he offers her $20,000.

In one text, Charlie says, "All I need is an Acct number etc and I will wire u 20k if u think that will cover everything ... I really feel bad, u are as cool and sexy and as sweet and fun and friendly as they get!"

Just before sending that text, Capri fired off her own, saying "u trashed my brand new prada purse dude not cool - how u managed to rip the strap off and put 2 holes in it is beyond me."

After offering the $20,000, Charlie says, "Don't worry about our mutual friends, deal with me directly and I promise u kind lady, all will be restored and set straight."



The night after the incident, at 6:28 PM, Charlie is still trying to connect, texting, "Just landed, perhaps we can speak tonite....?"

Capri replies, "Yes u can call me. I don't have a bank account believe it or not."

Charlie responds, "Oh, well in that case, lemme put together a plan to get u square and flush. Can u tok (sic) for a sec now sweetie?"

Then Charlie texts, "Good news! My asst Rick is good friends with a cat named Mark (last name redacted) in NY, he will get the wire, cash that bitch, and deliver it to u where ever it's convenient ... I'll get the ball Rollin in am, and have data for u asap after that...☺"

Capri writes, "Can he leave it somewhere secure for me to pick up? Like with a bank rep ... I'm rlly nervous about all this."

Charlie responds, "Of course, whatever makes u feel better..."

Charlie ends by saying, "Lemme start that ball Rollin and I'll get back to u with the details..."

The transaction never took place.
