An Apple Store employee forwarded intimate photos of a customer from her iPhone. He was fired immediately

Taking intimate photos with your iPhone is not a good idea for a number of reasons. One of them may be that you never know how and into which hands these images may end up. An Apple Store employee in Bakersfield, California, for example, was recently fired after it was discovered that he was forwarding intimate photos of a customer from her phone to his iPhone. Gloria Fuentes, whose images the subject liked so much that he risked being fired because of them, shared her experience on Facebook.

The customer originally visited the Apple Store to have her iPhone screen repaired. Even before the visit, she started to delete a number of sensitive photos in the interests of security and privacy, but unfortunately she did not manage to get rid of all of them. She said she arrived at the Apple Store at the last minute and handed her iPhone to an employee, who asked her twice for the passcode and then told her that the issue might need to be addressed with the carrier.

A little later, however, Fuentes discovered that a message had been sent from her phone to an unknown number, thanks to the synchronized Messages application. After opening the message, she was surprised to find that the employee had sent the photos Fuentes had taken for her boyfriend on his phone. The photos also included a location: "So he knew where I lived," Fuentes said. What is interesting about the whole case is that the photo in question was almost a year old and the employee in question found it in a library containing roughly five thousand other pictures.

When Fuentes confronted the employee in question, he admitted it was his number, but claimed he had no idea how the photo was sent. Fuentes expressed her suspicion that this may not be the first time something like this has happened to her. Apple later confirmed to The Washington Post that the employee had been fired with immediate effect.
