Hacker Steals Nude Pics Of Women, Posts Them As Facebook Profile Photos

Florida hacker, Joseph Bernard Campbell, 24, broke into the email accounts of 19 women, stole nude and semi-nude photos of them, and posted them as their Facebook profile photo.

According to reports, Campbell knew many of the women he targeted and simply wanted to “harass the victims and cause them emotional distress.”

Campbell got what he wanted. The women “were devastated,” according to Lt. Bill Sohl of the Belleair Police Department. “All of a sudden they were getting phone calls from their friends, saying, ‘Do you know what’s on your Facebook page?'”

In addition to posting the photos to the women’s Facebook profiles, Campbell also posted them on a Web site called “Pinellas County Sluts,” a site called “Dumpster Sluts,” and a forum called “Revenge.” These sites have now been taken down.

So in addition to posting partially or fully nude photos of women he knew, he also made sure to slut shame them for having such photos on their personal computers. Quite the charmer.

Campbell will plead guilty to federal charges of cyberstalking and unauthorized access to a computer. These charges carry a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine, although sources are saying it is likely that Campbell “would receive a lesser sentence.”
