Florida resident Christopher Chaney was arrested on Sunday in connection with the crime, which led to nude photos of the Avengers actress being leaked online last month.
He is also accused of hacking the personal data of several other Hollywood personalities, including Mila Kunis and Christina Aguilera, and setting accounts to automatically forward emails to him, even if the passwords were changed.
"This [arrest] comes as a relief to the victims, many of whom suffered great distress," said FBI assistant director Steven Martinez.
Cheney has been charged with 26 counts of computer hacking, aggravated identity theft and wiretapping and could be sentenced to up to 121 years in federal prison if convicted, reports People.
Johansson has addressed the nude photo leak, insisting that she is entitled to privacy despite her celebrity status.
