Vicious, Disconcerting Phone Hacking and Extortion

The press claims crime is dropping. Far from crime rates dropping, they are exploding. Crime has  moved to the internet, is far more lucrative, and much less risky, close to immune.

I think I know how this happened.

Guy gets call from a good looking woman he does not know. She says, she has all his phone content. She will publish it to the internet and to social media. She then displays icons of his pictures, documents, including identification, credit card information, video, some intimate, along the side of her picture. When he says, he is disabled and poor, has no money, she says, she will have him beheaded. He understandably got frightened, and took the phone back to the store for replacement. I suggested he file a report with the FCC, and with the FBI. I had not heard of this crime before. Someone needs to go on my group  A New Word is Needed for This on Facebook, and invent a name for this crime. I am banned from Facebook for another week. Another word is needed for people who repeatedly get on Facebook one week, and get banned 4 weeks. 

I think he downloaded an app. It asked for permission to access all the content, and he consented.

Either remove compromising phone content, or do not consent to any app access to it. If you have a project that needs advertising, then tell the lady from Eastern Europe to publish everything. Get free labor posting to social media.
