Paris Hilton Hacker Stole Nude Photos and $130K

A hacker targeted Paris Hilton, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars as well as naked photographs… TMZ has revealed.

Paris Hilton had a bad year in 2017 as she lost $130,000 and her nudes to a hacker. According to the report, the hacker was a lady called Paytsar Bkhchadzhyan who operated between 2015 and 2017. While Paris was one of her victims, the website claims that she also victimized two other persons, the identities of whom are unknown.

According to court records obtained by the publication, Bkhchadkzhyan used Hilton’s credit card to book a New Year’s Eve party at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood in 2015. She allegedly charged Hilton’s account for $40,000 that night alone.

Paytsar also pretended to be Paris online, sending emails to Hilton’s assistant demanding that $80,000 be sent to one of Paytsar’s accounts.

Paytsar obtained the nudes taken by Paris by accessing her iCloud, according to the records, although it is unclear what she did with them. In an attempt to acquire credentials for additional accounts belonging to Paris, she also hacked her father, Rick Hilton, and sister, Nicky.

An emotional Paris Hilton told a Los Angeles court that she needed to beef up her security and admitted to not trusting iCloud as the hacker who stole her nude photographs and money from her bank accounts was jailed.

According to reports, federal prosecutors are proposed a sentence of 57 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for the hacker. She would also be required to pay $318,535 in compensation to her victims.

Paytsar Bkhchadzhyan was sentenced to five years in jail for a two-year campaign of harassment against Hilton.

This comes after Paris recently opened up about how she felt as though she had been raped after the 2004 sex tape leak. For the first time, Paris discusses what went through her thoughts when the incident occurred in a documentary on social media celebrities. She describes the experience as “like being raped.”

“It felt like I’d lost part of my soul and been talked about in such cruel and mean ways. I literally wanted to die at some points. I was like, ‘I just don’t want to live,’ because I thought everything was taken away from me. I didn’t want to be known as that.”

Hilton and her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon were filmed in 2001, and the tape served to make her famous – for better or worse — shortly before the premiere of her reality TV sitcom The Simple Life.

On Monday, the heiress was spotted coming into court and telling reporters, “Don’t trust the iCloud.”

Hilton told the judge in court that it is “very important for me to stand here today and pursue legal action on behalf of myself, my family and anyone who has been targeted with hacking’.

‘Public figure or not, no one should be a target for this crime. I hope that by being here today it brings awareness that this won’t be tolerated and moving forward it doesn’t continue to happen to me or anyone else,’ Hilton said.

After finding out that her personal information and photographs had been taken, Hilton claimed she felt “so upset, hurt, and violated.”

She also said the lady warned that if she didn’t pay for her stolen private photographs, they would be sold to the media and disclosed to the public.

Hilton added, ‘I was told that they were already in talks with reporters and media companies interested.’

At the documentary’s Tribeca Film Festival debut last week, Hilton spoke about the film and her experience. She expressed similar sentiments in a CNN interview with Piers Morgan in 2011.

“When I was a little girl, I looked up to people like Princess Diana and these women and I feel like he took that away from me,” Hilton said. “This is not what I planned. I didn’t want to be known as that. Now when people look at me, they think that I’m something I’m not, just because of one incident one night, with someone who I was in love with, people assume, ‘Oh, she’s a slut,’ just because of one thing that happened to me.”
