INVESTIGATORS HAVE IDENTIFIED A SECOND SUSPECT IN WHAT WAS
REFERRED TO AS THE FAPPENING, TWO YEARS AGO.
BASICALLY THIS WAS A MASSIVE SCANDAL WHERE CELEBRITIES
HAD THEIR IPHONE ACCOUNTS HACKED INTO AND THEIR NUDE
PICTURES WERE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC.
A SECOND MAN WHO IS A SUSPECT HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED ñ
NO ONE HAS BEEN ARRESTED YET, OR AT LEAST THESE TWO MEN FROM
CHICAGO HAVE NOT BEEN ARRESTED.
THE SECOND SUSPECT IS NAMED ED - I CAN'T EVEN SAY HIS NAME, ED
MAJERCZYK.
HE IS ACCUSED OF PHISHING HIS WAY INTO SEXUALLY
EXQUISITE PHOTOS FROM CELEBRITIES INCLUDING JENNIFER
LAWRENCE, KATE UPTON, KIRSTEN
DUNST, AND MANY MORE.
WHEN THE STORY FIRST CAME OUT THEY SAID THEY HACKED INTO THE
ICLOUD ACCOUNT, WHICH MADE ME PANIC.
I DON'T HAVE NEW PICTURES OUT THERE, BUT I WAS WORRIED
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT PEOPLE LOOKING AT MY PICTURES ANYWAY.
I DELETED EVERYTHING, AND I WAS LIKE I DON'T WANT TO BE A
VICTIM IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM.
BUT THEN I FOUND OUT HOW THEY DID THE HACKING, AND IT IS
SO EASY TO FALL VICTIM TO THIS.
THEY SENT AN EMAIL TO THESE PEOPLE, AND EMAIL LEFT AS
THOUGH IT WAS FROM APPLE.
IT INDICATED THAT THEIR ACCOUNT HAD BEEN CAPITALIZED IN
SOME WAY, SO IT SAID CLICK ON THIS LINK AND SIGN IN.
ONCE YOU DO THAT, YOU GET THE HACKERS YOUR LOGON INFORMATION.
I GOT THE SAME EMAIL ñ
I HAVE GOTTEN THOSE EMAILS.
I LOOKED AT IT AND I INITIALLY FREAKED OUT, OH MY GOD
WHO IS HACKING INTO MY STUFF, AND THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO
DO IS LOOK AT THE EMAIL ADDRESS,
BECAUSE IT IS FROM A GMAIL ACCOUNT, AND APPLE IS NOT GOING
TO OPERATE FROM A GMAIL ACCOUNT.
THAT HAPPENED FROM MY OWN WEBSITE, THROUGH GODADDY, ALL
YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL GODADDY AND ASK.
I WAS ALMOST DEFRAUDED ON EBAY, BECAUSE THEY SEND YOU AN EMAIL
THAT SEEMS LIKE IT IS DIRECTLY FROM THE COMPANY, SO THEY
SAY CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SIGN INTO THE WEBSITE.
WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE LINK IT TAKES YOU TO A SITE THAT LOOKS
EXACTLY LIKE THE SITE, AND ALL
YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE URL, AND IT WILL HAVE THE
WEBSITE NAME AT THE FIRST PART, AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE AT
THE END.
IT IS SO EASY TO GET LOST, GET TRICKED INTO THAT.
I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE SILVER LININGS OF THIS
STORY, COMING TO LIGHT IS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT, THESE ARE
THE THINGS WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO PROTECT OURSELVES.
BUT THEN I FEEL LIKE IT SHIFTS INTO VICTIM BLAMING.
OH YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ñ
WHEN THE STORY BROKE THERE WAS A TON OF VICTIM BLAMING.
WHY DID THEY TAKE THE NAKED PICTURES THE FIRST PLACE?
THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THEY WOULD BE HACKED.
NO, WHAT THESE INDIVIDUALS DID WAS ILLEGAL, AND THAT IS
WHY THEY ARE BEING INVESTIGATED.
JENNIFER LAWRENCE WAS RIGHT, IT IS A SEX CRIME.
AND THEY AREN'T BEING TREATED AS A SEX CRIME, WHY HAVEN'T
THEY BEEN ARRESTED?
WE HAVE PROOF, ESSENTIALLY, THAT THEY HACKED INTO THEIR ACCOUNT.
THOSE WHO DO THE VICTIM BLAMING, I'M VERY CURIOUS
HOW THEY WOULD REACT IF IT WAS THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBER WHO
HAD THEIR ACCOUNTS HACKED INTO.
IT IS THE SAME PEOPLE WHERE IF THEIR WEB HISTORY WITH
LEADS, THEY WOULD BE UPSET.
IT IS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T PUT THEMSELVES IN THOSE OTHER
STUDENTS.
THERE IS A LACK OF EMPATHY.
THERE IS ALSO SLIPPERY BLAMING THAT HAPPENS, WHEN
PEOPLE SAY YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO BE PUT IN THE PUBLIC EYE,
EVERYTHING WILL ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE NEEDS TO BE SCRUTINIZED AND
IS UP FOR FAIR GAME FOR PEOPLE TO STEAL, WHICH IS OF COURSE NOT
TRUE AND COMPLETELY ABSURD.
AS I SAY, RIGHT NOW HE IS A SUSPECT, SO I DON'T WANT TO
IMMEDIATELY SAY THIS GUY IS GUILTY, I AM JUST GLAD THAT
OFFICIALS ARE STILL LOOKING INTO THIS.
ONE OTHER POINT THAT I DO WANT TO MAKE THOUGH, THE ONLY REASON
THIS IS BEING INVESTIGATED IS BECAUSE THEY ARE CELEBRITIES,
ALTHOUGH I AGREE IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
IF THIS WAS SOME AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL WHO DID NOT HAVE
A NAME OR PLATFORM, THEY WOULD BE VICTIMS AND THAT WOULD
BE THE END OF THE DAY.
THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS, HE ACCESSED 330 PEOPLE WITH THE
HACKED, BUT WE ONLY TALKING
ABOUT JENNIFER LAWRENCE.
IT DOES HELP.
YOU ARE RIGHT, SHE WAS VERY VOCAL, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT.
