This is weird. On one side, why would you give your passcode to a device that contains a lot of stuff, usually financial apps, message history, in a lot of cases access to corporate information... and eventually nudes.

On other side, as a technician, how retarded you must be to have access to all this data and to take nudes and post them online. Like whats the end game? What sort of outcome do you expect?

This is just like the story that happened few weeks ago, when someone gained access to a popular npm packages and uploaded the most obviously visible crypto stealer.



There are a lot of stupid techs. Back in the day we had a tech of a consulting firm run l0phtcrack on our network and then brag about it to a bunch of our firm’s employees. He wasn’t even doing it to steal data, which is probably why he thought it was okay.

The thing about stupid people is they don’t know they’re stupid. They are either wholly delusional about the legality, morality, or consequences or they reason that because they couldn’t catch themselves there is no way anyone else could catch them.


That's what my first thought was too - nudity is everywhere, it's not like you posted the first images of a nude woman ever.


I'm guessing it's the same reason people rape, when it's relatively easy to hook up with someone consenting: the abuse of power is the point.
