Israeli media have reported that a 39 year old man was arrested following a month-long investigation involving a private investigation firm.
According to Lahav 433, Israel's cyber-crime unit, the suspect broke into the personal computers of several international artists over the past few months and stole promotional final-cut singles which have yet to be released and traded them online for a fee. The singer has thanked the agencies that helped arrest the hacker via her Facebook page. She also thanked fans for helping to provide information regarding the leaks of her music, and criticized the hacker's attack on her right to privacy.
The arrest in Israel comes a day after Bjork was forced to release her new album Vulnicura two months ahead of schedule after it leaked over the weekend.
