Jennifer Lawrence’s hacker has been sentenced to eight months in jail.

George Garofano, 26, hacked into more than 200 iCloud accounts, including the actress’.

On Wednesday, he was sentenced at the Bridgeport U.S. District Court to eight months in prison.

After prison, he must serve three years of supervised release and perform 60 hours of community service.

Authorities said the hackers used a phishing scheme that sent emails appearing to be from Apple security accounts that asked for usernames and passwords.

According to the Connecticut Post, judge Victor Bolden told the hacker how “240 victims were affected” by the hacking.

The judge rebuked Garofano over spreading an array of “very intimate photos and videos” that “are not going away anytime soon.”

Jennifer is yet to comment on the charge.
