As if there haven’t been enough warnings over the last few years that people need to be more careful and thoughtful about just how much of themselves they put online now comes the story of George Bronk. Bronk, a 23 year old from California used women’s Facebook pages in order to hack their emails and steal several nude photos these select women had emailed to those special someone.

Bronk would friend women and gain their private email addresses from those who made them readily available on their profiles. He would then crack their email by figuring out their passwords, since most people don’t realize just how easy it is to determine their security question answers.

Once into their emails, he would scour their folders for nude or semi nude photos and forward them to the women’s friends. Bronk was finally caught after victimizing dozens of women when one of his victims filed a complaint with the Connecticut state authorities and they were able to trace his actions back to him.
