Scarlett Johansson Hacker Admits Being 'Addicted'

By

Christopher Chaney, the man who was arrested in connection with the hacking of nude photos from Scarlett Johannson's cell phone, came clean on his penchant for hacking into celebrity accounts.

"It started as curiosity," Chaney said in an all new interview with CBS47/FOX30 Action News. "It turned into just being addicted to seeing behind-the-scenes of what was going on with these people you see on the big screen everyday."

The addiction was apparently so strong that Chaney even went so far as to admit relief when his belongings were seized. FBI agents say Chaney hacked the forwarding feature to the email accounts of Johannson, Christina Aguilera and 48 other high-profile stars. Despite his infinite access to their emails, Chaney also said that he never sold any of the information or pictures.
