Hackerazzi are cybercriminals who hack¹ into the email accounts of celebrities² to access and exploit their private information. Hackerazzi derives³ from paparazzi, a term for photo journalists who doggedly⁴ pursue celebrities to take candid⁵ pictures and sell them to newspapers and magazines.

 

Hackerazzi（黑客狗仔）指入侵名人的电子邮件帐户以获取并搜寻名人隐私信息的网络犯罪分子。Hackerazzi一词实为hacker（黑客）和paparazzi（狗仔）的合成词，延续了狗仔们“跟踪名人、偷拍照片、给报刊爆料”的行为风格。

 

For example:

 

With his head hung low, Jacksonville's so-called hackerazzi admits he hacked⁶ into the email accounts of celebrities. He faces up to 60 years in prison after pleading guilty to wiretapping and unauthorized access to a computer.

 

杰克逊维尔这名所谓的“黑客狗仔”低着头承认他曾经入侵过名人的电邮帐号，并对窃听以及非法入侵电脑等罪行供认不讳。他将面临60年的监禁。
