Lederman, 39, is sentenced to 14 months in prison along with a fine of $4000, after he confessed to computer trespassing and infringement of privacy and property rights, reported an entertainment portal.
&ldquo;The ease with which crimes such as this can be committed by those who have skills in the field, such as the accused, require an appropriate punitive response that has a deterrent and uncompromising message,&rdquo; said a spokesperson for Tel Aviv Court.
Last December, the unfinished tracks of Madonna&rsquo;s album Rebel Heart were leaked before the official release. Lederman was arrested a month later, as police suspected him of selling songs he had procured through hacking.
&ldquo;I am profoundly grateful to the FBI, the Israeli Police investigators and anyone else who helped lead to the arrest of this hacker. I deeply appreciate my fans who have provided us with pertinent information and continue to do so regarding leaks of my music. Like any citizen, I have the right to privacy,&rdquo; said Madonna, reacting to the court&rsquo;s verdict.
Rebel Heart was officially released on March 6, 2015.
