Miley Cyrus' Hacker Raided By FBI

A 19-year-old hacker who published provocative photos of teen queen Miley Cyrus earlier this year was raided by the FBI Monday morning in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The hacker, Josh Holly, repeatedly bragged online about breaking into the Disney star's e-mail account and stealing her photos. He also gave interviews to bloggers and others and boasted that authorities would never find him because he moved so often. [Last month, Holly contacted Threat Level seeking to have an article written about him here.]

But this morning the FBI did find him and, after talking with him for more than an hour about his exploits, served him with a search warrant and a list of items to be seized (which was posted at the hacking site digitalgangster.com after Holly showed it to a friend).

When agents finally left his apartment after conducting an extensive search, they had three computers and Holly's phone, among other things. Hours after the raid, Holly phoned Threat Level from his sister's phone to report what had occurred. He hasn't been arrested or charged with a crime yet.

My questions is what did we do to deserve not just one, but TWO GENERATIONS of this family?

[BlackJAC]

They repeatedly bring it up on THE SOUP.

[OkieIntellectual]

Okay first off, STOP YELLING, ITS NOT COOL AND MAKES PEOPLE HATE YOU.

Second, don't believe everything you see on the cover of supermarket tabloids.

Third, just to drive the point home, please do not forsake the Caps Lock anymore, leaarn how to turn it off.

she looks pregnant in that pose...

Um, okay, dear hacker

EVERYTHING is trackable. QED

[LiberalBuzz]

Well he would have been untrackable except for his enormous ego.

Had he turned off his computer for a year or so they wouldn't have caught him.

OR try secure-tunnel

[SaintRidley]

Is there really any reason for the FBI to even care about this particular "case"?

[kyvette68]

Yea, his acts could be considered stalking, and hacking is illegal.

[tainochef714]

I hacked into my own e-mail and nobody will ever cacth me bo hahahahaha!!!

[oiba]

I guess this hacker is smart, but bragging about it is stupid! I'm surprised he didn't go to some tabloid, he probably would've been safe and gotten lots of money.

[TroubleNYC]

"The FBI won't catch me!11!!!111"

Kid, it's the FBI!

[josephbua]

Obviously not that stupid. How do people who don't know her even know what her email address is?

But that's okay, your suggestion that this person be the victim of anal rape in prison (by someone from the South or from Bakersfield -- Bubba?) is a much better idea.

Maybe that should be the punishment for everything?!?

Can I have some of that instead of traffic school?

[HonorJusticeTruth]

You've got to be a pretty dumb dork to hack a national celebrity's e-mail and then taut the FBI about not being able to catch up with him.
He needs to grow up and hopefully some cellmate named "Bubba" will turn him in the right direction.
