Alonzo Knowles, a Bahamian man has been accused of allegedly hacking into email accounts of 130 celebrities and stealing their sex tapes, sexually explicit photos, movie scripts and other sensitive personal items.

The culprit also told the officer, that he had the social security number of a "very popular A-lister celebrity" along with 30 unreleased tracks on their upcoming album.

Knowles dodged the celebs, by sending a fake text, giving an impression that account has been hacked and further he capered them, asking for the password to secure the account and strangely some of the celebs did the same.

However, the name of the targeted celebrities has not been revealed.
