Do you know people keep intimate pictures and videos on their phones, and they might not have enough idea about the kind of crypto scams going around online? Better tell them to read this - it's a warning, but someone might fall for it, especially if they’ve really got something to hide.

"This is utilizing, essentially publicly available imagery of your home, so if you go to, like, Google Maps, or Apple Maps you can actually see photographs of your home, type in your address and there it is."

He said scammers crop those photographs and send them to potential victims, as though they are outside their homes, to indicate they have compromised devices such as phones, laptops and desk tops.

He said they will say thing such as, "We have access to your intimate photographs, we have access to your pornographic website browsing,"[/b]

Generally, it's used not only for a crypto scam, some emails can be brought to you with the same premise or to send some money to resolve the "issue".
Sometimes I've seen mails with sending BTC to resolve the issue, not the fiat as usual fishing emails are 
I do hope nobody would fall for this and know the details about it.

And how can they steal it with a phone? If you store it not on the cloud, but just on your phone? If I don't follow all the links.

Scare tactics: people who fall for this kind of scam usually don't read much (they're idiots), so this warning won't reach them.

How do you trust that something on the cloud can not be stolen also? Do not trust anyone or anything when it has to do with something you have that is kept somewhere out of your hands. This is why I do not like fixing my phones when they are broken. I do not trust technicians fixing it not to search through my files. They do that whenever they are fixing people's spoilt devices. I do not keep nudes but my tokens and assets are on my phone. I do not want to loose it to anyone.

The cloud has already been hacked multiple times. Just remember how many times there have been leaks of celebrities' data.

The fact that this has already been reported means that there are people who have fallen for it. However, by sharing this information, we can raise awareness so others know that these kinds of scams really do happen. This way, they’ll be more cautious if they encounter something similar in the future.
