3200 Gmail Accounts Hacked Of Girls and Stolen For Nude Photos

George Bronk was hacked into more than 3,200 email accounts looking for nude or compromising photos.

He then posted many of these photos to his victims' Facebook pages. George Bronk is just the 23-year old and live in California, has pleased guilty to hacking into the email accounts of 3,200 girls and posting the nude pictures to their public Facebook profiles.

George Bronk was arrested in late October 2010 after he used the same technique that was popularized by hacker David Kernell to break into Sarah Palin’s email. Namely, Bronk scoured his victims’ Facebook accounts looking for the answers to security questions used for password recovery by services like Gmail and Yahoo Mail.

• Once he had access to an email account, he search for nude photographs sent by the account holder, then trigger a Facebook password recovery to get into their account and post the pictures live to their profiles. He post nude photographs to over 172 women. He even convinced one woman to send him even more explicit photos of herself by threatening to post the ones he’d already stolen if she didn’t.

• Court charge six years in prison to George Bronk for felony hacking, child pornography as several of the girls were minors and identity theft charges.
