Hollywood hacker sentenced to 10 years in prison Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES — A federal judge sentenced a hacker to 10 years in prison on Monday after he broke into the personal online accounts of Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera and other women and posted revealing photos and other material on the Internet. U.S. District Judge S. James Otero sentenced Christopher Chaney after hearing from a tearful Johansson in a videotaped statement. The case included the revelation that nude photos taken by Johansson of herself and meant for her then-husband Ryan Reynolds were leaked online. “I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed,” Johansson said. “I find
Christopher Chaney’s actions to be perverted and reprehensible.” Prosecutors said Chaney, 35, of Jacksonville, Fla., also targeted two women he knew, sending nude pictures of one former co-worker to her father. The judge noted the damage to the women was in some ways worse than what Chaney’s celebrity victims endured. The women, identified in court filings only by initials, wrote in letters to Otero that their lives have been irreparably damaged by Chaney’s actions. One has anxiety and panic attacks; the other is depressed and paranoid. Both said Chaney was calculated, cruel and creepy. “It’s hard to fathom the mindset of a person who would accomplish all of this,” Otero
said. “These types of crimes are as pernicious and serious as physical stalking.” Prosecutors were seeking six years imprisonment, but Otero said he was concerned that Chaney would not be able to control his behavior and had shown a “callous disregard” for his actions. Chaney, who could have faced a maximum sentence of 60 years under the law, apologized in court but denied that he had sent naked photos of women he knew to their relatives. “I don’t know what else to say other than I’m sorry,” Chaney said. “I could be sentenced to never use a computer again and I wouldn’t care.” Chaney previously pleaded guilty to counts that included wiretapping and unauthorized access to a computer.
Bin Laden movie “Zero Dark Thirty” arrives Reuters
NEW YORK - Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow could have made a testosterone-fueled shoot-’em-up Hollywood version of the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden. Instead, she and screenwriter Mark Boal turned “Zero Dark Thirty” into a more complex look at the decade-long hunt for the al Qaeda leader, including a frank presentation of U.S. torture and previously undisclosed details of the mission to hunt down the man behind the September 11 attacks. When the film opens in limited U.S. release on Wednesday, Bigelow and Boal want audiences to disregard a year of
controversies, including claims, which they have denied, that the film makers were leaked classified information. “It’s about a look inside the intelligence community. The strength and power and courage and dedication and tenacity and vulnerability of these women and men,” Bigelow, 61, told Reuters in a joint interview with Boal. Bigelow won an Academy Award in 2010 for “The Hurt Locker,” about U.S.
army bomb disposal experts in Iraq. She says her latest movie puts the audience at the center of the quest to find bin Laden, and gives a perspective of the U.S. intelligence community and how its methods changed in the years following the September 11 attacks. “It’s a controversial topic, it’s a topic that has been endlessly politicized. The film has been mischaracterized for a year and a half and we would love it if people would go and see it and judge for themselves,” Boal said. The action thriller has emerged as an Oscar front-runner after picking up multiple early awards and nominations from Hollywood groups.

Human error caused a Russian-made passenger jetliner to crash into an Indonesia volcano seven months ago during a demonstration flight, killing all 45 people aboard, the National Commission on Safety Transportation announced Tuesday.

Information recovered from the Sukhoi Superjet-100’s cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder indicated the pilot in command was chatting with a potential buyer in the cockpit just before the plane slammed into dormant Mount Salak on May 9, Commission Chairman Tatang Kurniadi told reporters. He said that 38 seconds before the crash,
instruments inside the cockpit issued a warning saying “pull up, terrain ahead.” Later the warning “avoid terrain” was issued six times, but the instruments were turned off because the crew assumed there was a problem with the database, Kurniadi said. He added that a simulation showed that the crash could have been avoided if the crew had responded
within 24 seconds of the first warning. “The crew was not aware of the mountainous area surrounding the flight path,” Kurniadi said. The Jakarta radar service was also not equipped with a system in the area where the crash occurred that was capable of informing flight crews of minimum safe altitudes, he added. Russian pilot Alexander Yablontsev was in charge of the flight and was an experienced test pilot, logging 10,000 hours in the Sukhoi Superjet and its prototypes. Soon after takeoff from a Jakarta airfield, the pilot and co-pilot asked air traffic control for permission to drop from 3,000 meters
to 1,800 meters (10,000 feet to 6,000 feet). The plane disappeared from the radar immediately after in West Java. Last month, Indonesia certified the Russian-made passenger jetliner as safe to fly in the country after a thorough validation process unrelated to the crash investigation. This opened the lines for delivery of the aircraft to its first customer in Southeast Asia, the Indonesian airline Sky Aviation, which signed a deal for 12 planes. The Superjet is Russia’s first new model of passenger jet since the fall of the Soviet Union two decades ago and is intended to help resurrect its aerospace industry.
