Scarlett Johansson Hacked? FBI Investigating Celebrity Hacking Attacks

LOS ANGELES — An FBI spokeswoman in Los Angeles says agents are investigating a series of computer hacking attacks on celebrities.

The FBI's Laura Eimiller said Wednesday that dozens of celebrities had been targeted by hackers, who stole personal information from email and other computer accounts.

She declined to provide further details, but several websites including TMZ have identified one of the victims as Scarlett Johansson.

A message left with the actress' spokeswoman was not immediately returned.

Weren't people calling for a full FBI investigation when they thought News Corp. was hacking? Now the same people are saying that this is a waste of FBI resources.

It's called publicity. A way to get those "private naked' photos out. "I was hacked and now all my private photos are out there" Ok Scarlett, when was the last time you had a successful movie out?

They changed the original ambiguous and hilarious headline, which said; "Scarlett Johansson Nude Photos Prompts Investigation" Indeed!

after all the FBI doesnt have to look for actual violent criminals anymore they all watched sesame street and now they are all better...and they killed all the terrorists already so they have plenty of time to focus on these hardened and dangerous hacker types who expose celebrities embarrassing photos

I didn't know that the FBI investigated bad haircuts. But someone really did do a hack job on her hair in the above photo.

Yeah - i bet those clowns at the FBI just can't wait to view all her personal photos. Just a coincidence that they jump on the scene when SJ is the victim. Can't see why men would be so interested in her case.
