FBI: Watch Out for Hackers Trying to Steal Your Nude Photos
If you like taking nude photos, be careful: The FBI is warning that hackers have been trying to steal “explicit content” with the goal of selling or sharing the images. The hackers have been targeting adults and underage users by breaking into social media and personal online accounts, according to the FBI’s warning, which was published on Monday. “Once the sexually explicit images or videos are accessed and stolen, typically unbeknownst to the victim, SE [sexual exploitation] actors are sharing or posting the content within community forums or selling them to illicit marketplaces,” the agency added.
