When you share an intimate conversation or some pictures online, there is an element of trust involved. You obviously trust the person you are sending them to but you also put your trust in the online medium used to share these pictures. However, as Edward Snowden repeatedly warned, nothing on the internet is ever 100% private.
Taruna Aswani shared some intimate pictures of herself online with her boyfriend. Someone hacked into her Google cloud backup and procured these pictures and threatened to release these pictures to her friends and family if she did not do as he asked.
The low life even warned her not to try and “outsmart” him.
It’s disgusting how low some people are willing to stoop.
However, this brave girl was not going to let this excuse for a human being dictate terms. She took a firm stand and posted this on Facebook, asking everyone to help identify her blackmailer.
I am posting this and emailing you individually as my online identity has been compromised.
I have in the last 24 hours received 2 emails from someone that claims to know me that has hacked into my google cloud back up.
He has been threatening to release some private pictures and videos of me to my friends family and colleagues.
As embarrassing as the videos may be ( they were sent to my boyfriend at the time ) I choose to stand up to this man. Instead of cowering down to his requests. I do this so that other women may take a lesson to stand up to bullies and low life’s like this and may get the confidence to stand up as well in case he is known to us and is targeting all of us, but we’re either too scared, ashamed or clueless in how to manage or handle such situations.
I implore you to share this post with as many people as you know to get the word out. Perhaps someone may be able to locate this person through his digital footprint.
Please help me in nabbing this sick pervert.
If you find any information on this, please inbox me so I can report it to the Detective working on the case or you may contact him directly on +1 301 699 2601 and mention my name for reference.
Grateful for your help in this, I have enclosed along with this screen shots of his emails- I have deleted the photos/videos he had attached.
Thanks for all your help and support in this.
Yours truly,
Taruna

It’s extremely courageous of Taruna to stand up to cyber-bullying in this manner.
After the post, Taruna received overwhelming support from the global Facebook community.
Moreover, this incident was brought to the attention of the Police, who encouraged Taruna to lodge an official complaint.Â
@Gayatri__J Official complaint needs to be lodged at your nearest Police station or at Cyber Police station at BKC.

I certainly hope Taruna has lodged a complaint. Also, I urge all of you to help identify this criminal and bring him to justice.
I do hope this incident also highlights the fact that nothing you share online will remain 100% private. There will always be criminals prowling through cyberspace looking for innocent victims to prey on. I urge everyone to be wary of the content you share online.
I would love to see the look on that bully’s face. He’s definitely shitting bricks right now!
