When I saw this story, it looked interesting but at the same
time I was wondering what sextortion is. Then I found out what exactly it meant
and was very shocked and disgusted that somebody would do something like this. "When I heard his name it didn't click right
away what he looked like," she said. "His name is familiar. When I
looked at his yearbook picture, I recalled moments when I saw him in the
hallways." It’s shocking that he actually knew her from high
school. It scares me even more that somebody from high school hacked her
computer. It makes you think more about what you do when your laptop is open or
you on a device with a camera. I have heard about stuff like that happening
before but didn't know it was that big of a deal.
"When
I got the first e-mail, I read the first three lines and I quickly scrolled
through it and saw it was a long e-mail," she said. "Two photos of me
were attached. I literally threw my phone across the room and started
screaming. It did not feel real, it was like a horror movie." I couldn't
even imagine if I ever got an email like that. I would've probably responded in
the same way as her. You can’t really do much about and you feel like you are
stuck and have to listen otherwise your life will be ruined and everyone will
see the real you.
The fact
that if you have a webcam on your TV, you are at risk of being hacked and
someone taking pictures of you. This
article kind of makes you think twice about your technology. I think a lot of
people have no clue about the risk of technology and in a world of technology,
it’s important to know about the risk. “Security cameras, lights, heating
control systems and even door locks and windows are now increasingly coming
with features that allow users to control them remotely. Without proper
security controls, there's little to stop hackers from invading users' privacy,
stealing personal information or spying on people.”
He admitted to having hacked multiple people from
all over. Just one hacker can affect so many different people, which is why we
need to be careful. The fact that she is spreading news around to others about
how to be careful and not get hacked is very good. She explains to CNN that you
should cover your camera after you get done chatting with people, be careful
what you do in front of the camera and change your passwords every once in a
while. The good thing out of all this is we are all learning from others
experiences.
