The man who hacked into the iCloud accounts of hundreds of people, including that of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, was sentenced Wednesday, the Justice Department announced. George Garofano, 26, of Connecticut, will serve eight months in prison after he pleaded guilty in April to unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information. The case stemmed from the investigation into the 2014 scandal in which private photos, from Lawrence, Upton, Ariana Grande and Kirsten Dunst, were leaked to the public. Many people who live in Connecticut and are not celebrities were also hacked, according to federal officials. Garofono is out on a $50,000 bond but is expected to begin the prison sentence in October.
