A bahamian man has been accused of hacking into personal accounts of aproximately 130 stars, and this Friday a prosecutor said they might be more than what was originally thought.
Investigators said Alonzo Knowles bragged to them that he got access to the private email accounts of celebrities by hacking first into the accounts of their friends.Assistant U. S. Attorney Kristy Greenberg said in federal court in Manhattan that an initial review of "voluminous" material in Alonzo Knowles' email accounts, drop boxes and phone records show the possibility of more victims and more crimes like the unauthorized use of credit card information.
She also said prosecutors are thinking about filing him with additional charges and that they are talking with his lawyer to get a deal.
The man was lured when an undercover FBI agent asked him to get for 80.000$ 15 stolen movies and tv scripts and the social security of three athletes and an actress.
None of the victims have been identified officially and no names were disclosed Friday, but sources have told the Daily News that Knowles stole scripts to the hit Starz show “Power” by hacking into the email of one of the stars of the show.
