That shitwaffle lived right down the road from me and there were no fireworks or public celebrations when that "revenge porn" hacker and identity thief got the cuffs slapped on him?

Hunter Moore (born March 9, 1986) is an American internet personality from Sacramento, California. He started and managed the now defunct "revenge porn" website Is Anyone Up? until its closing in April 2012. He also managed a small career in disc jockey.

Moore was arrested by the FBI on January 23, 2014 for numerous counts of identity theft and security breach.

Moore started the website in 2010. It featured revealing photos and videos of real men and women, linked to their social networking profiles on Facebook or Twitter.[1] Many of the subjects were outraged by the publicity, claiming that the explicit photos had been hacked from their personal computers or shared with former boyfriends or girlfriends, and that the photos had been posted as form of revenge. Because of this, the site's content became known as "revenge porn", but in an investigation by Charlotte Laws, a substantial portion of victims contacted stated that the pictures were outright stolen (40% had their computer or phone hacked only days before their pictures appeared on Moore's website) and another 12% stated that the pictures were fabricated, with their faces photoshopped onto or posted next to shots of nude bodies that were not theirs.[2] The site attracted a great deal of attention, some of it salacious, much of it condemnatory.

Moore claimed that the website attracted 30 million page views monthly as well as yielding $10,000 a month in ad revenue.[3]

Moore eventually faced numerous lawsuits, an FBI investigation[2][4] and he was stabbed in the shoulder with a pen by a woman who had been featured on the site.[5][4][6]

On April 19, 2012, Moore sold the website to an antibullying group.[7] He posted an open letter explaining his decision.[8]

I felt like Will Smith in "Enemy of the State." I was being hunted, harassed and stalked by criminals with technological expertise. I had been thrust into an unexpected war. I felt exposed, vulnerable and alone on the front line. I had awoken a hideous network of villains and saboteurs, who were in pursuit of me, hoping to ruin my life. I had received creepy emails, backlash on Twitter and three death threats. My computer had been bombarded with viruses, and a technician had advised me to buy all new equipment because the malware was tough to remove.

"Also, be leery of unusual cars or vans in the neighborhood," the tech added.

"Why?" I asked.

"If someone wants to break into your computer network, he will need to be close to your house. That is, unless he has advanced skills. Then, he could gain access from anywhere."

I hurried home from the hardware store with my all-important purchase: heavy-duty padlocks. I knew I had to secure the gates at my residence, so that an intruder or a team of intruders could not access my backyard and possibly my home....
