American pop icon Madonna is expressing her gratitude after the arrest Wednesday of an Israeli man suspected of hacking the computers of a number of artists and selling their unreleased music online.
"I am profoundly grateful to the FBI, the Israeli Police investigators and anyone else who helped lead to the arrest of this hacker," the singer said on her Facebook page Wednesday.
"This invasion into my life - creatively, professionally, and personally remains a deeply devastating and hurtful experience, as it must be for all artists who are victims of this type of crime."
An unauthorized leak of several unfinished songs from her upcoming album, Rebel Heart, forced the music industry veteran to release six tracks from the record in December.
The full 19-track album isn't due out until March 10.
Police raided the home of a 38-year-old Tel Aviv man on Wednesday, arresting him and seizing computers and other evidence, according to Israeli news outlet Haaretz.
The FBI and Israel's national cyber unit reportedly launched an investigation after receiving a complaint from an international recording artist.
Madonna's attorney in Israel told Haaretz that the theft of "sketches of songs, photos and other personal material" had been going on for a long time, and had cost the Queen of Pop millions of dollars in damages.

The singer posted a picture of a smashed iPod on her Instagram feed back in December with the caption: "This broken ipod is a symbol of my broken heart! That my music has been stolen and leaked! I have been violated as a human and an artist!"
It's not clear which other musicians were hacked.
The unnamed suspect was due in court Wednesday to face charges of intellectual property theft and aggravated fraud.
