PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Oregon State Police say two female college students report being locked out of their social networking sites by a hacker who demanded nude photographs.

A 16-year-old Clackamas, Ore., youth is accused in the case. The Oregonian says the high school student is expected to face computer crime and theft by extortion charges in Clackamas County Juvenile Court.

One of the 18-year-old women attends Oregon State University, the other Washington State University. State police say the 16-year-old boy grew up within blocks of the two women.

Senior Trooper Randy Westbrook says the boy admitted hacking into the MySpace and Facebook pages when he was confronted by police, saying it was a prank.

"I explained to him, hacking into someone's computer and trying to extort anything from someone is pretty serious," Westbrook said.

The trooper sent subpoenas to the social networking sites, tracing e-mails sent by the hacker and eventually obtaining the address of the 16-year-old.

The president of a Canada-based nonprofit called Bullying.org said hijacking someone's account and blackmailing that person has happened before but is not common. More common are direct threats from text messages, e-mails or the creation of a Web page to spread lies or rumors about victims, said Bill Belsey, a middle school teacher and president of Bullying.org.

The National Crime Prevention Council, along with Belsey's Web site, urge Internet users to change passwords regularly and not share personal account information.

The Clackamas teen said he had guessed the victims' passwords, Westbrook said.

The OSU student called police May 6 to report receiving five e-mails over a two-day period from someone who claimed to have taken over her MySpace and Facebook pages.

The e-mails said the only way she could regain control of her social-networking pages would be to send nude photographs of herself, Westbrook said. When she didn't respond, another e-mail arrived requesting photos of her bare feet.

Westbrook then learned that a friend of the OSU victim, the young woman at WSU, had received similar e-mails and couldn't connect to her MySpace and Facebook pages either.

The women were relieved to find out who was responsible, police said.

[/quote][/quote][/quote][/quote] Ahh, dumb kid, smart enough to guess a password, but too dumb to setup tor/an anonymous email account.

 

[QueBert]

awesome read, too bad he didn't get to see any skin AND still got busted. I love how when he got no response to "show me your bewbs!" he lowered it to "show me your feet!" in an attempt to at least see something.

While I agree with you, today people really don't know what hacking is... Or for that matter what a computer is.

WTF is up with people and having foot fetishes? That is one that boggles my mind.

 

[Red Squirrel]

lol he did not hack. If they would of actually used a secure password he would of never got in. This should be throw out of court. Of course, any "computer crime" is taken very seriously in the states, so he's probably going to jail for 25 years and will never be allowed near any electronic equipment for the rest of his life.

 

[Lean L]

that's stalker to the max, funny that he managed to GUESS the pw.

@ above: ?? you're the first one to say foot fetish?

 

[Crono]

Minus infinity props for being an ass and a retard.

 

[Gothgar]

[ModerateRepZero]

Modern neuroscience have a pretty good theory on it - the genitals are right next to the foot on the sensory region of the brain, and sometimes crosswiring is known to occur.

If you had your genitals cut off, it'd still feel like you have them, and you can stimulate them by rubbing your feet.

If you had your arm cut off, you can touch your imaginary arm by touching your face.

This is a phenomenon called phantom limbs, in which an amputee's brain would automatically rewire the sensory part of the amputated limb to adjacent regions.

as far as I know, using a password is considered hacking. Though, it doesn't seem like he gained control of anyone else's computer if all he did was log in to their myspace/facebook.

Brute force is the most common method of hacking passwords, and it's basically another word for guessing, albiet on a much greater scale and often with the aid of scripts.

Of course they know what a computer is, you would have to be stupid not to know it was that TV thingy sitting on your desk.
