Spied On Through a Webcam on the Katie Couric Show

Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf recalls the moment she realized someone had been using her own webcam to take nude photos of her.  Cassidy found that she had been spied on for a long period of time because the nude photos were from high school and college. 

The sextortionist gave her three options or he would post all the nude photos he had of her on the internet including all her own social sites.  Here are the three options that were given to Cassidy via an email:

1.       Send the sextortionist good quality photos

2.       Snap chat with him

3.       Skype with him for five minutes and do whatever he says

Mary Wolf, Cassidy’s mother was horrified when she read the emails from the webcam hacker.

After the FBI arrested  the webcam hacker Jared James Abrahams, they found he had been sextorting 9 girls which two had complied to all of his requests.

According to a security expert on the show the FBI states that hacking has increased 8.9% over last year and that includes both individual and business hacking. 

Now, the same security expert suggest to use TAPE on the lenses to cover it.  C-SLIDE disagrees with this solution.  Would anyone place tape on their digital camera lens?  No, this would make that lens completely useless.  The strategy to cover the lens is correct but the only functional solution is a Webcam Cover by C-SLIDE.

Arrest made in Miss Teen USA ‘Sextortion photos’ case

TEMECULA, Calif. — A college student was arrested Thursday for allegedly hijacking the webcams of young women — among them reigning Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf — taking nude images, then blackmailing his victims to send him more explicit material or else be exposed.

Jared James Abrahams, a 19-year-old computer science student from Temecula, California, surrendered on Thursday to the FBI on federal extortion charges, the agency announced. Authorities say he victimized young women surreptitiously, by taking control of their computers then photographing them as they changed out of their clothes.

When he admitted what he’d done in June, Abrahams said he had 30 to 40 “slave computers” — or other people’s electronic devices he controlled — and has had as many as 150 total, according to a criminal complaint.

His arrest came six months after a teenager identified in court documents as C.W. alerted authorities. She has since publicly identified herself as Cassidy Wolf, the recently crowned Miss Teen USA. She touted news reports of her alleged tormenter’s arrest on her Twitter feed.

At the time she contacted police, in March, Wolf was not a national figure — even though she was Miss Teen California — and lived in an apartment and attended Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa.
