Twisted reason 'King of Revenge Porn' Hunter Moore started IsAnyoneUp site revealed – before angry mom took him down | The Sun
THE so-called "King of Revenge Porn" launched his twisted IsAnyoneUp website after a woman broke his heart, he has claimed.
Hunter Moore, 36, is the focus of "Most Hated Man on the Internet," a new Netflix docuseries on the now-defunct revenge porn site and how it was brought down, in part, by a victim's mother.
In an audio clip featured on the docu-series, Moore explained the twisted reason that inspired him to start the revenge porn site.
“It all started with me hating some dumb b**** who broke my heart,” he said through laughs.
“Me and my friends would just post a bunch of girls on IsAnyoneUp, and we just got a bunch of traffic one day. And I was like, ‘Yo, I can make money off of t*****s and f***ing people over.’”
Moore launched the website in the early 2010s when he was 26 and engaged in an email-hacking scheme and mass photo piracy.

He described it as “where revengeful exes come for a peace of mind,”
The website obtained success as a non-consensual pornographic platform from 2010 to 2012.
Moore would often add a picture of the revenge porn victims' social media pages alongside their nude images.
He relished the distress of his victims and even posted their distraught pleas to take pictures down on his site for trolls to attack.

Moore, who claimed to be making thousands a month, also gained a cult following, manipulating his “children” into providing ever more extreme content — including being filmed punching themselves in the face.
His reign of terror came to an end after a victim's mother came across the site.
Charlotte Laws's daughter Kayla had her nude pictures stolen by a hacker working with Moore.
During her three-year campaign to bring Moore to justice, Laws and her daughter were threatened with rape and murder by his “cult” followers — dubbed The Family, like the gang led by Sixties serial killer Charles Manson.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the mom from California said: “Moore gloated that he was ‘pure evil’ and it was all about being, in his own words, a ‘professional life-ruiner’.
“A lot of people on the internet thought he was cool, that what he was doing was innovative and creative.
Laws said police refused to help, but she wouldn’t give up. She contacted Moore’s advertisers, publicist and domain hosts in a bid to pressure him to take the post down.
As Laws’s campaign against Moore gathered momentum, his followers bombarded her with abuse, including rape and death threats.
Her lawyer husband Charles, who had advised Laws to drop the matter thinking it would go away, now decided to act, threatening to take Moore to court.
Within 30 minutes, Kayla’s picture was taken down — but Charlotte carried on fighting for other victims.
In the meantime, the FBI had begun to investigate the hacking claims, after being handed a file of evidence gathered by Charlotte.
And anti-cyberbullying campaigner James McGibney discovered nudes of girls he suspected were underage on Moore’s site.
Spooked, Moore agreed to sell the site for £12,000 to McGibney, who shut it down and redirected users to an apology on his Bullyville site.
When the FBI probe looked like it had lost momentum, Moore promised to launch a new version of his site, boasting: “It’s going to be the scariest thing on the internet.”
Charlotte began receiving terrifying calls on her landline — and soon after, Underground hackers Anonymous offered to protect her.
The group took down Moore’s servers, deleted his social security number and wiped content he had in storage so he couldn’t repost it.
They also hacked into his bank account and transferred money to a women’s shelter, shipped hundreds of sex toys to his house and declared him dead in the State of California.
In the meantime, the FBI confirmed Kayla and other victims’ emails had been hacked and a secondary email, in the name of Gary Jones, was added.
