Christina Aguilera Hacker Scare: Singer Feels Her Security Will 'Never Be Given Back'

Christina Aguilera was one of the many celebrities targeted by email hacker Christopher Chaney. The internet troll also obtained illegal access to Scarlett Johansson, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus' digital information.

"The Voice" judge is now speaking out about the invasion of privacy. In a videotaped statement (via The Los Angeles Times) played at Chaney's court hearing, Aguilera confessed that she would never have the same sense of security she had before the ordeal.

"That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy."

However, Scarlett Johansson faced even more embarrassment from the hacker -- as Chaney found nude photos of the actress among her private computer files and leaked them online.

The hacker has been in custody since October 2011 awaiting his verdict. At the initial hearing in March, he pled guilty to nine cyber-related felonies. This past Monday the judge sentenced him to 10 years in jail.

Johansson says she was "truly humiliated and embarrassed" by the leaked photos, calling Chaney "perverted and reprehensible". Aside from his time behind bars, the judge also ordered Chaney to pay $66,179 in restitution.
