How Much Time Will Hacker Get for Leaking Salacious Pics?

He was charged with 26 counts of identity theft, unauthorized access to a protected computer and wiretapping, but those charges were reduced to 9 as part of the plea deal.

Per the conditions of his probation once he's out of the slammer, all of Chaney's computer activity with be monitored by a probation officer and his hard drive will be subject to search and seizure by making a mirror image of the device. He also be required to pay restitution to his victims and pay a fine of up to $2.5 million, which as court documents put it, is "twice the gross gain or gross loss resulting from the offense." (Though it's likely to be far less than that amount.)

Chaney, who is out on $10,000 bond, has since publicly apologized for his actions. Sentencing is set for July 23.
