Paris Hilton’s bank account and cloud storage were reportedly hacked recently, and the culprit made off with $130,000 and some nude photos. Hilton was a victim of a woman named Paytsay Bkhchadkzhyan, according to a report by TMZ. Bkhchadkzhyan was active from 2015 to 2017, and pulled off big digital heists against Hilton and two other people.
The outlet acquired court documents showing that Bkhchadkzhyan used Hilton’s credit card to make reservations for a New Year’s Eve party in 2015 at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. That night alone she allegedly charged Hilton’s account about $40,000.
After that, she used Hilton’s email account to ask her assistant o wire $80,000 to her own account. Bkhchadkzhyan was finally arrested last year, and reportedly pled guilty to bank fraud conspiracy.
However, while she had access to Hilton’s accounts, she reportedly made off with nude photos from Hilton’s iCloud account. Investigators aren’t sure what Bkhchadkzhyan did with the photos just yet.
In addition, Bkhchadkzhyan reportedly hacked into the accounts of Hilton’s father, Rick Hilton, and her sister, Nicky Hilton. She did her best to gain access to more accounts through those.
Bkhchadkzhyan will be sentenced on Monday. Federal prosecutors are reportedly recommending 57 months in prison for the hacker, followed by three years of supervised release. She will also have to pay restitution to her victims, which totals about $318,535.
