A man who hacked into the iCloud accounts of Hollywood stars, including Jennifer Lawrence, has been sentenced to eight months in prison in the US. The notorious Celebgate hack resulted in nude photos and videos of Lawrence and other celebrities stolen and posted online.

George Garofano was one of the four people charged in the 2014 hacking scandal. Three others have already been sentenced to terms of between nine and 18 months in prison. Garofano, 26, had admitted accessing usernames and passwords by sending out emails in which he posed as a member of Apple's security team. Other victims included Kirsten Dunst and Kate Upton as well as ordinary members of the public.
