What happened
A British soldier was told to take the SIM card out of his phone before being sent to Estonia, but he refused. His phone was hacked, his private nude photos were stolen, and he was then blackmailed with them. He was later court-martialled, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 months in detention.
