Today my snapchat account was hacked and pictures and videos in my snap thread with my boyfriend was opened and 5 pictures and/or videos were saved to the person’s camera roll. I am sure they took the nudes and compromising ones. They then texted me off an iCloud email and told me they just wanted to post them. I received an email from snapchat with their location in Greenville, SC and their IP address. Is there any way I could use their IP address to find a name at the least? I am also willing to pay a website for the information if needed. Or any other way possibly if any one knows. I am desperate. I have already reached out to the authorities but nothing much can be done since it hasn’t been posted (to my current knowledge). I have no idea who this could even be as I am in a entire different state and city and don’t know of anyone in Greenville.
pretty sure posting porn like that is illegal, so contacting the authorities is the best bet.
it doesnt sound like youre familiar with cybersecurity so any advice i can give you on finding info on that ip will not be useful.
First of all, are you sure this even happened? not uncommon for attackers to claim they have information they dont have and attempt to extort you with it.
