   Conversations About the Internet #5: Anonymous Facebook Employee.

   http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/digital-living/4548563/Virtual-rape-via-Facebook

   In a cautionary tale for users of social networking sites, a California man has admitted using personal information he gleaned from Facebook to hack into women's email accounts, then send nude pictures of them to everyone in their address book.
   The California attorney general's office said that George Bronk, 23, commandeered the email accounts of dozens of women in the US and England. He then scanned the women's "sent" folders for nude and seminude photos and videos, and forwarded any he found to all the women's contacts, prosecutors said.
   "This case highlights the fact that anyone with an email account is vulnerable to identity theft,"
   The attorney general's office advised those using email and social networking sites to pick security questions and answers that aren't posted on public sites, or to add numbers or other characters to common security answers. Additional safety tips
   are on the California attorney general's website.

   The hackers used her account to contact her stepbrother Joel Stupka to tell him she and her family had been kidnapped at gunpoint and needed money for their release. When Joel asked how much money, the hackers replied: "How much have you got?
