Yep, a decade is far too extreme a sentence (there's worse criminals getting far less than that as a matter of routine).
Yes, it is an invasion of privacy - but I'm sure we've all had a gander at the pics anyway ... if they weren't available, we wouldn't mind one jot, but when you dangle nudie pics of a fit-as-fook actress in front of your cursor, you're bound to click on them - admit it. 
Anyway, there definitely needs to be something done to tighten up prosecutions for this sort of thing - it often feels like the law is really trailing behind the digital age, and even when it tries to catch up, it just doesn't have the resources to cope (e.g. in the UK the law is being re-jigged regarding offensive statements published on social media, partly due to the sheer volume of investigations they had to launch specific to that type of thing - more than 2,000 such cases, with more than 1,200 convictions).
I would say though that, if I was a fit-as-fook actress, I wouldn't be taking nude pictures of myself on my mobile phone. I wouldn't be doing so on any device. Kinda weird how, even with all the sex tapes and hacked pics out there, that famous people are still doing it.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
