Illinois man pleads guilty to hacking hundreds of Snapchat accounts to steal nude photos

A 27-year-old Illinois man, Kyle Svara, pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft, wire fraud, computer fraud, conspiracy, and related charges for conducting a campaign of social-engineering hacks against Snapchat users—contacting roughly 570 women, accessing at least 59 accounts, downloading and selling nude or semi-nude images, and offering account-hacking services to others; the report also cites a related indictment of a former University of Michigan assistant coach who hacked student-athletes’ accounts to obtain private photos.
