https://bit.ly/42uMOax - 🚢 A municipal cyber security officer, Jeremy Froias, was arrested recently for secretly installing a camera in a cruise ship bathroom. He is accused of collecting footage of around 150 people, including 40 minors, on the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship Harmony of the Seas. #CyberSecurity #PrivacyInvasion 📸 The FBI has charged Froias with video voyeurism and attempted possession of child exploitation material. The agency believes Froias primarily targeted cruise ship passengers who used a specific public bathroom on the ship between April 30 and May 1, 2023. #FBI #ChildSafety 📱 Evidence from the Wi-Fi camera footage appears to show Froias installing it and linking it to his phone. His activities came to light when a vigilant passenger noticed the camera and alerted the crew. Froias confessed to installing the camera during an interview on May 1. #DigitalSafety #CruiseShip 🚔 Froias was arrested in Puerto Rico and appeared for a detention hearing. A federal judge set a $25,000 bond and release conditions that included wearing an electronic monitoring device, surrendering his passport, and not having unsupervised contact with minors. #LawEnforcement #ChildProtection 🏢 Froias, who had been an employee of Kissimmee, Florida, since 2004, had his employment terminated following the incident. His attorney stated that no formal charges have been filed as of yet. #EmploymentLaw #WorkplaceEthics 🚢 Royal Caribbean confirmed the incident aboard the Harmony of the Seas, stating that local and federal law enforcement were promptly notified, and the involved guest was removed from the ship. However, passengers complained about not being informed about the hidden camera. #CruiseShipSafety #RoyalCaribbean 👥 The FBI has provided a form for potential victims of Froias to fill out.
