Hacker Responsible for Madonna's Album Leak Arrested

According to Entertainment Weekly, the hacker responsible for leaking Madonna's upcoming album 'Rebel Heart' has been arrested in Israel.

Per the report: "[a] gag order has kept the suspect's name out of the media, according to a statement by the cybercrime division of Lahav 433-the FBI-like organization that made the arrest-he has been identified as a former contestant on an Israeli televised singing competition and is accused of breaking into the computers of several pop stars besides Madonna."

The "Material Girl" singer released six tracks from the album following the leak.

At the time, Madonna said: "I was hoping to release my new single 'Living For Love' on Valentine's Day with the rest of the album coming in the Spring," Madonna said. "I would prefer my fans to hear completed versions of some of the songs instead of the incomplete tracks that are circulating. Please consider these six songs as an early Christmas gift."

More tracks will be released on Feb. 6, with the entire album, "Rebel Heart," set for a Mar. 10 release.
