The story kind of jumps around and I read it in parts, but I'm confused about the outcome. He basically went into hiding and suffered no consequences? What worries me more deeply is how society provides people like Moore with the ammunition they need to terrorize women. One victim complained that she would lose her children over the nude pictures. Even if they were actually of her, why does someone have to fear the g…
I have one weird reservation - her daughter is/was 24, but doesn't seem to have been involved a whole lot? Or maybe it's just written that way on purpose? Maybe it's just me, but leaving someone to mope seems a little like you're treating them as more a child than an adult.
>People claimed to be afraid of him. He had no fear oflawsuits; he knew a victim would be unlikely to sue because a civil suit would cost $60,000 (according to attorney Marc Randazza) Why do we allow that kind if situation to persist? What can be done about it?
Definitely a worthy cause to donate to.
At some point can't she say "so there's a picture of my left tit on the net, and?" Also I don't understand why people like Moore haven't been sued into the ground for profiting from copyright violation. (edit: I mean other than the whole upfront cost aspect, but given how frickin' insane copyright penalties are, you would think some or other lawyer would take it on a no-win no-fee basis.)
Sure, she can say that. Some professions don't welcome people who have nude photographs of themselves on the Internet - teachers, for example. It seems baffling to me that her partner would consider leaving her, but the article says it was a concern. Or sometimes people at vulnerable points in their lives are outed. Or not even outed, just plain blackmailed. It's very easy to say "just shrug it off", but the numbers…
Clearly the behaviour of the people involved in this is abhorrent (for multiple reasons) but there has to be a point where you stop caring. Moore is not the only asshole in the story by a long stretch. He might not even be the worst.
I mean, if the boyfriend thought about leaving her for a second then he's not worth worrying about, he's an asshole. Whoever fired the kindergarten teacher likewise. The real story is not the 'revenge porn', it's the morons that are so upset by it that they fire someone, or that anyone would take kids away from their mother over it, or really any of the societal bullshit about nudity.
edit: And seriously, some professions don't like taking people who have been naked on the internet? Those professions need to grow the f*ck up.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Rootkits exist that survive OS reinstalls. I don't know how prevalent they are, but if you expect a target to try to reinstall their operating system to attempt to purge an infection it is possible to counter this.
Then replace the hard drive? I don't know of any viruses that could hide itself in your case fans so I'm inclined to think that buying a whole new computer is an overreaction.
I am surprised that someone didn't injure the man, or worse.
In all seriousness, I look forward to a world with assassination markets every time I read a story like this.
And people wonder why death threats on the internet is not taken serious by the police. If the victims of death threat do not care, then the police won't. The result is that death threats then become normal on online forums, and real death threats gets ignored.
It's basically the Shawn Parker story. No real accomplishments, but active participation in the party scene leads to high status. If this current incarnation of the VC-funded bubble hasn't crashed, in 3 years he'll be part of the "tech" in-crowd and people here will be discussing his new venture capital fund.
I, for one, will never take investment from any VC firm that employs Hunter Moore as a Managing Partner.
