Madonna’s hacker story: reality or fiction?

Madonna’s hacker story: reality or fiction?
It was all over the web last week… A 39-year-old man “Adi Lederman” has been arrested by the Israeli police for allegedly hacking into Madonna’s computer.
Did they get the right person or is this just another scapegoat?
In 2011, a Spanish Madonna fan Jorge Moro was arrested for the leak of Give me all your luvin’, the first single off Madonna’s then-to-be-released album MDNA. This made headlines all over the internet, but the media forgot to mention nobody was found guilty. Jorge Moro was released and served his purpose as a scapegoat.
In December 2014 a whole batch of demos from Madonna’s upcoming album “Rebel Heart” hit the web and her manager Guy Oseary told Billboard.com they were “working really hard to solve this crime.”
Madonna recently thanked “the FBI, the Israeli Police investigators and anyone else who helped lead to the arrest of this hacker” in a statement posted on her Facebook page, after a confirmation of the arrest by YnetNews.
This is very good news, but a few things still don’t add up here…
- How did that person have access to tons of untouched pictures, Madonna admitted herself she never saw before (see this Instagram picture), if he only hacked Madonna’s computer?
- Even very early photoshoots from the eighties and nineties, including Richard Corman, Kate Simon, Laura Levine and others have been posted online, and all in very high quality. It’s hard to believe Madonna had all of this stored on her computer.
- Personal pictures shot with Madonna’s own Blackberry also got out. So the alleged hacker not only had access to Madonna’s computer, but also to her personal phone?
- Did he have access to every computer Madonna owned for the past ten years, because that’s how long the leaks have been going on?
- Tons of HQ Pictures from different photographers taken from the early eighties until now were leaked over the past ten years, including Steven Klein, Herb Ritts, Steven Meisel, Alas & Piggott, Tom Munro, Curtis Knapp, Gilles Bensimon, Mario Testino, Tim Walker, Alek Keshishian, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Rankin and even Guy Oseary himself who shot the cover of “Get Together” and “4 Minutes”.
Does this means he hacked all these computers as well?
- Numerous music stems that were sent out to remixers, artists and producers leaked too, and those are pretty heavy files. Again, how did that person have access to all of this?
- Madonna often takes multiple hundreds of pictures during big photoshoots. In the past, complete sessions have leaked and plenty of sheets with over thousands of images have been posted online. Not only this, but large unreleased video files also made the rounds.
We’re talking about multiple thousands of gigabytes of data here. It’s almost impossible to download all this from one computer to another in a short amount of time without anyone noticing it.
It seems we’re not the only ones that need convincing…
I’m rolling my eyes so hard right now. Oh well, I hope it all works out for you queen. Even though you and your team are so incredibly out of touch and misguided in your words and actions — Jero Aguiar Juares
It had to be someone inside that studio. I think next time you record do it the old school way and don’t give access to anyone and don’t put it on a computer either — Rocco Acosta
I can’t see this israel hacker being the source for 10 years of constant demos, outtakes, videos, personal pictures and personal information circulating online. He must be a scape goat just like that spanish fan in 2011 — EqualRights4Every1
how can she really believe it’s a foreigner hacking her personal computer when she stated herself she had never seen some of the pictures that leaked? — Poison Flower
Every fan who visited popular Madonna forums in the past couple of years remembers nicknames like “Adi Lederman” and “Tom Kashti” who didn’t hide the fact that they had access to lots of unreleased material. It seems odd those guys never hid behind an alias… and where is Tom now?
Also, the Adi Lederman who supposedly got arrested, did participate in a singing contest on Israeli tv. He doesn’t strike us like the typical geek or computer-savy person who’s able to hack ALL those computers.
Madonna's hacker story doesn't seem real Adi Lederman
Efrat Nahmany-Bar, a lawyer for Lederman said he denies the allegations. She said Lederman has not been charged and believes there was not sufficient evidence for an indictment.
We can’t help but wonder… Is this whole story just a cover-up? Who could really have access to all those files? Are we really talking about a hack here?
What do you think?

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not  the   best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...

Rolling Stone - June 13, 1991 - Flesh and Fantasy - Big Time Girl Talk with Carrie Fisher

Madonna and I had met many times over the years, but we had never actually had a conversation. It took this interview to bring us together – she as icon, I as inquisitor of icon [after all, I have already distinguished myself as friend of icon, relative of icon and ex-wife of icon]. I had never done an interview before, and I don’t know that I will again. For me, this has all the makings of a waterloo. The first of the two sessions for this interview took place in the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Madonna wore gold lame; I probably wore black. The last session took place in the offices of her manager, Freddy DeMann. Madonna wore a negligee; I probably wore black. I was late for that first meeting because a friend who had AIDS and who was staying with me had suddenly developed a fever. I called Madonna to say I was on my way. “You’re late,” she informed me. I explained about my friend. “Well, okay, that’s a good excuse,” she said. By the time of our fina...
