BANNED: The shocking app that finds private images naked women
28.05.2020 17:57
The disturbing software was allegedly able to trawl through private photo accounts picking images that contain bare skin.
Called 'fusking' it delves deep into photo albums of unsuspecting women, stealing sexy pictures of them.
The duo who created the shocking app are now facing a lengthy prison sentance and a possible fine.
Brandon Bourret, 39, of Colorado Springs, Colorado and Athanasios Andrianakis, 26, of Sunnyvale, California, were arrested last week after apparently selling the app to a number of other users.
The app, called 'Photofucket', uses a trick that bypasses security allowing instant access to private files held on cloud servers.
Police claim that Andrianakis and Bourret used the software to steal hundreds of images and videos.
And it's also thought the pair sold on passwords to allow other people to access the pictures.
U.S. Attorney John Walsh said :"It is not safe to hide behind your computer, breach corporate servers and line your own pockets by victimising those who have a right to protected privacy on the internet."
"The US Attorney’s Office is keenly focused on prosecuting those people for their theft - and for the wanton harm they do to innocent internet users."
"The arrest of Brandon Bourret and his co-conspirator reflects the FBI’s commitment to investigate those who undertake activities such as this with the intent to harm a company and its customers."
If found guilty the pair could face 30 years behind bars and face paying $1million in fines.
