As digital citizens, one of the most terrifying thing is online identity theft. Selena Gomez is the latest celebrity to fall prey to it, reports TMZ.com.
The Fetish singer’s email ID was hacked by a woman in New Jersey, according to the Los Angeles County DA.
The prosecutor has claimed that this woman, Susan Atrach, had accessed Selena’s and her associate’s accounts multiple times from June 2015 to February 2016. The alleged culprit then stole digital property and stored the media which she had shared with others and also the ones posted on social media.
Atrach was charged with five felony counts of identity theft, accessing and using computer data to commit fraud or to control or obtain money, property or data, and one felony count of accessing and using computer data or taking supporting documentation without permission. She faces almost a maximum sentence of 10 years if she is convicted.
