The 35-year-old said: “I know what I did was probably one of the worst invasions of privacy someone could experience… These people don’t have privacy to begin with. And I was in that little sliver of privacy they do have.”
Personal information from some of the celebrities’ accounts ended up being published online – including nude photographs of actress Johansson.
Chaney faces 26 separate charges, including the unathourised accessing of computers, aggravated identity theft and wiretapping – and faces up to 121 years in prison if found guilty, reports the BBC.
