While attending Great Oak High School in Temecula, she was crowned Miss Greater San Diego Teen USA.[1][2] Wolf was crowned Miss California Teen USA in 2013, and later the same year Miss Teen USA 2013 on August 10, 2013, in The Bahamas.[3] Wolf was crowned the 31st Miss Teen USA.[4]
Victim of sextortion
Wolf was a victim of sextortion, after photographs of her were hacked and used in an attempt to blackmail her.[5][6][7] The FBI ran a probe after Wolf reported a threatening email demanding a 'special performance' for the hacker, whom she suspected to be Jared James Abrahams, her former high school classmate. Wolf never created the video demanded, and on September 26, 2013, Abrahams surrendered to FBI agents in Orange County.[citation needed] 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 explicit images and videos of them. One of his victims was a 14-year-old girl.[8] On March 18, 2014; Abrahams was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.[9] Legal scholar Star Kashman speculates that Abrahams used the technique of Google dorking to find and target Cassidy Wolf's webcam online.[10]
