Facebook used to get to nude e-mail photos

In this undated photo provided by the California Attorney General's office, George Bronk is shown. Bronk admitted using personal information he gleaned from Facebook to hack into dozens of women's e-mail accounts across the nation and overseas. The California attorney general's office says the 23-year-old would scan the e-mails for nude and seminude photos and videos that he often forwarded to the victim's entire e-mail address book. A California man faces six years in prison for using personal information found on women's Facebook profiles to take over their e-mail accounts, steal nude pictures of them and sometimes even blackmail them.  One victim likened it to "virtual rape."
