A 22-year-old man from Alabama, Jamarcus Mosley, has admitted to charges of extortion, cyberstalking, and computer fraud involving hundreds of women, including minors. His actions spanned from April 2022 to May 2025, during which he manipulated victims into giving up their account recovery codes and passwords by impersonating their friends.
Once he gained access to platforms like Snapchat and Instagram, Mosley threatened to release private images unless his victims complied with his demands, which included providing access to more accounts, sending explicit content, or paying money. U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg highlighted the dangers posed by Mosley, stating that his actions exploited the trust of young adults and teens.
Specific instances of his behavior include tricking a Georgia woman into giving her Snapchat recovery code and later threatening to post her private images. In another case, when a Florida woman refused his demands, he went ahead and shared her stolen photos online. Mosley is set to face sentencing on May 27, presided over by U.S. District Judge Michael L. Brown. Earlier this month, another individual, Kyle Svara, also pleaded guilty to similar hacking charges involving nearly 600 women.
