The system administrator extorted five thousand rubles from the user of "Classmates"

The system administrator of the Internet salon in Tambov was charged with extortion and illegal invasion of privacy, the Interfax news agency reported March 23.

According to reports, a visitor to the salon called her password to the system administrator to help her enter the page on the social network. He remembered the data and after leaving the girl got acquainted with her personal correspondence. In the mailbox, the administrator found four candid photos.

Contacting the girl via ICQ, the man suggested she pay him five thousand rubles. He stated that he would otherwise distribute the photos on the Internet. After the girl refused to pay, he temporarily posted photos on her personal page on the website of Odnoklassniki.ru.

The girl went to the police. The administrator was arrested and his computer seized. He admitted to committing unlawful acts. Law enforcement officers check him for involvement in other similar crimes. (C) Lenta.ru

P.S: Wash a rather vile act on the part of the system administrator. By the way, it is also scary that due to the mass distribution of social networks, there will be many more such cases soon. It is clear that a smart person vryatli will post his candid photos on the Internet. And if he did, then he will enter his password in public places. In general, social engineering is growing and flourishing. I remember as a child I read a book by Kevin Mitnikand was surprised at the stories described, because you had to be smart to get the necessary data. Now everything has been greatly simplified.
