Wolf never created the video demanded, and on September 26, 2013, Abrahams surrendered to FBI agents in Orange County.[8] In November 2013, Abrahams pleaded guilty to hacking over 100-150 women and installing the highly invasive malware Blackshades on their computers in order to obtain nude images and videos of them. One of his victims was a 14-year-old girl.[9] On March 18, 2014; Abrahams was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.[10]
