""Cassidy Wolf was recently crowned Miss Teen USA, but she wants the world to know that her title doesn’t mean she’s exempt from rampant cybercrime. Wolf explains that in high school, her computer and webcam were hacked into, and she had no idea that a stranger was watching her. Then, the hacker contacted Wolf to extort money from her. He claimed he had nude photos of her and threatened to make them public. Wolf explains that she didn’t suspect anything since the lights on her devices weren't turned on. She also wasn't aware that all of her online accounts had been taken over. "There was no immediate action that could be taken," Wolf said."

"Now that she can get the public's attention, she wants to raise awareness and hopes her experiences can keep others safe. "It was honestly one of the hardest things I had to go through," the 19-year-old said. "It can happen to anybody. It's important to always be aware of what you're doing on your computer and what you're doing around it." The FBI has been investigating this case for months and says they now have a suspect, but won't identify him to the public yet. "
