Woman Shocked This Apple Store Employee Leaked Her Nude Pics When She Went To Repair Her iPhone

Before dropping her phone off at the Apple store for a screen repair, Gloria Fuentes deleted all social media, financial and banking apps from her device. She simply couldn’t get rid of a feeling that something bad will happen. Fuentes would’ve wiped out all of her photos too, but she ran out of time.

Upon arriving at the store in Bakersfield, California, she handed over her phone to an employee. However, he began “messing around with it for quite a while,” the woman wrote on Facebook the next day. “I didn’t really pay any mind to it because I just figured he’s doing his job, looking into my insurance info or whatever.”

The employee then asked for her passcode twice. Even though Fuentes didn’t think much of it at the time, her initial fear was justified. When she got home, Fuentes turned on her phone and stumbled upon a message that had been delivered to an unknown number. She said the Apple employee had gone through her device, retrieved a private photo and sent it to himself.

In an emailed statement, Apple told The Washington Post “we are grateful to the customer for bringing this deeply concerning situation to our attention. Apple immediately launched an internal investigation and determined that the employee acted far outside the strict privacy guidelines to which we hold all Apple employees. He is no longer associated with our company.”
