I look at it this way ..Felon45/7 is an unpunished criminal & his supposed “first lady” (title used loosely) has published naked compromising photos…. fuq it.. bring it on.🤪🤣🤣🤣 it’s hard to care anymore about these things, truly.🙄 Thanks for the info though..🌹

The first Black Mirror episode I saw was, 'Shut Up and Dance'. A really thought provoking and scary look into the future related to your topic. Apparently a new series drops next year... looking forward to seeing where they take it given the advance in tech since it began.

Despite what the email says, you probably haven’t been hacked. These kinds of schemes use publicly available info, not the kind of info that hackers would get from obtaining access to your accounts, so it’s unlikely the sender has hacked your accounts or devices. (2/7)

Here’s our biggest tip: do not pay the ransom. Having your address, full name, and a picture of your house doesn’t mean that someone has acquired private, compromising info about you. Here are some quick answers to a few questions people have after receiving these emails. (3/7)

Q: How did they get a picture of my house? A: With Google Street View and real estate sites, it’s not difficult to find a photo of someone’s house if you have their address. Data breaches are also common and scammers likely obtained multiple lists with the personal info of millions of people.(4/7)

Yep, voter registries in most states can be bought for nothing, the county appraiser's office is typically online, like everyone's email has probably been in some breach with their address at some point, osint isn't really hard to find if you know where to look.

I always just hope they found some of those great nude selfies I thought I lost to hard drive failure. They'd really boost my campaign if they got 'leaked'. Sadly, it hasn't worked out yet.
