The teenage computer hacker who spread provocative photos of 15-year-old TV star Miley Cyrus around the internet has been raided by the FBI, just hours after bragging he would never be caught.
Josh Holly, 19, had talked up his exploits online and in interviews after sharing a series of pictures of Hanna Montana star Cyrus posing in a wet T-shirt, underwear and in a swimsuit.
He was reportedly still posting messages online about his feats hours before FBI officers arrived at his home, confiscating three computers and his phone.
He has not been arrested or charged with any offence, but told technology website Wired.com he was shocked by the raid.
"I was just kind of shaking. I was thrown way off guard," Holly said.
"I've never had anything like this happen before to a point that I just didn't know what to do. I was afraid to kick them out of my house.
"I guess somebody ended up ratting me out."
