A former contestant in Israel’s version of “American Idol” was jailed for 14 months on Thursday for hacking the computers of singers including Madonna, who had complained about unfinished tracks from her latest album being leaked online. Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court said that under a plea bargain, Adi Lederman confessed to computer trespassing and infringement of privacy and property rights, citing Madonna as one of his victims without specifying that he was behind the song leak. Lederman, 39, was arrested in January after an investigation assisted by the FBI. Police said he was suspected of selling songs he had stolen through hacking.
