Breaking news on missing malaysian flight 370, moments ago the malaysian Prime Minister announced theyre now certain the unusual movements of the plane were the result of deliberate action by someone on board. Officials are still investigating all possibilities as to what could have caused the plane to deviate from its path. But according to new data, satellites tracked the flight in the air for almost eight hours. Far longer than investigators initially believed. Theyre now focusing the search on two possible corridors. One stretching from the border of kazakhstan to northern thailand. The other from indonesia to the southern indian ocean. Abcs bob woodruff is in kuala lumpur with the very latest. Reporter after one week of searching thousands of miles over land and sea, the malaysian Prime Minister spoke at a News Conference for the First Time Since flight 370 vanished. We can say with a high degree of certainty that the aircraft communications, addressing and reporting system of aircraft was stable just before the aircraft reached the east coast of peninsula. Reporter the whereabouts of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 are still a mystery but authorities can confirm the planes Communication Systems were shut off intentionally. This movement are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane. Reporter and this news, according to new data satellites tracked the flight in the air over seven hours. Investigators have pinpointed two new search areas from the border of kazakhstan to northern thailand, or from indonesia to the southern indian ocean. Thousands of miles apart, they now can end their search in the south china sea. U. S. Investigators tell abc news they know the plane made more than one turn and flew out over the indian ocean. That indicates that somebody may be on the controls. Reporter the two Communications Systems were turned off on purpose. Pilots know how to do this as abc was shown in a boeing simulator today. It can be relatively easily switched off by rotating the nob clockwise. Reporter a data system was also turned off according to our source, but part of that system keeps working. It cant be turned off, something pilots around the world didnt know until yesterday. Its a transmitter, still pinging, talking to a satellite every hour, sending a signal that is then relayed to the ground. Someplace on the top here is a transmitter sending a signal to sat heat . Yeah. Reporter even if they found wreckage it could be deep, parts of indian ocean as deep as nine World Trade Center buildings. Today, no one in the pilots neighborhood we talked to had anything bad to say about either pilot. We realize this is an excruciating time for the families of those on board. No words can describe the pain they must be going through. For nightline, bob woodruff in kuala lumpur. Thanks bob. Abc news will stay on top of this breaking story.

Well, i just think that they want to be famous. Reporter do you want to be famous . Yeah. Reporter why . Do you think . I want people to know me.

My daughter is the one whos surprising me. Sometimes i wish shed be a kid. Reporter logan is a parenting expert and therapist. How do you stop a kid who says this is my burning desire, this is my one thing in life .

It needs to stay cute. Reporter but are these stage kids sacrificing a carefree childhood in the rush to be famous . Whats wrong with posing for red carpet pictures .

[ ] these days lots of us post photos online for friends, family and fun but now some unscrupulous businesses are taking shared and in some cases finding unshared pictures and posting them on xrated sites, then demanding big bucks from victims to take them down. And often there is not much Law Enforcement can do about it. We welcome our correspondent to nightline with this report. Reporter Salt Lake City blogger Melissa Esplin has more than 3,000 photos online. Charming images of her calligraphy and craft projects and many innocent pictures of herself. Two weeks ago the married mother of two young kids woke up to find that her perfectly pg pics were being useed in a very xrated way. It infuriated me and sort of sent me into a panic. I was angry that people would think that that person was me. Reporter some of the totally innocent photos from her blog had been taken and posted on a porn site next to very graphic images of what melissa says is someone elses body. Along with a list of sex acts she supposedly enjoys. Thats not all, her name and the city she lives in and link to her Facebook Page were there, too. She started getting bombarded with messages from strange men. Youre pretty, those pictures were really interesting, i would like to get to know you more and some got considerably more graphic. Reporter then the second shock. Esplin says when she went to the website to demand the pictures be removed, she was led to another site with a striking offer. Pay 400 to get the photos taken down. She called that cyberextortion. Really . Like i would pay somebody 400. I mean who knows what they would have done with my credit card information . Reporter experts say what happened to esplin could happen to anyone and events like this are more common than ever. If you find your photos have been misused you can report it, but basically youre on your own. Because theres not really a place for Law Enforcement to step in. Reporter the page with her pictures has been viewed more than 75,000 times since being posted on whats known as a revenge porn site where typically a bitter ex posts ris day pictures or video of their former lover online and in an instant the deeply intimate moment becomes ruthlessly public. Kayla laws found that out the hard way. A topless picture she admits is her showed up against her will all over the internet. Its embarrassing to know theyve seen that photo of me and they know what i look like now topless. Because of that site. Reporter kayla says she was hacked but what she didnt know at the time was that she was just another in a long embarrassed line of women who had become victims. In kaylas case the cyber attackers picked the wrong victim with the right mom. Was extremely difficult for the whole family, not just my daughter that was victimized it was really the entire family. Because it impacts everybody in the victims life. Reporter Charlotte Laws has been called the Erin Brockovich of revenge porn. Frustrated there were few specific Legal Protections on the books, she set out to enlist more victims and push lawmakers. Two years later, california enacted one of the first laws in the nation. The amendment, it will cover 100 of victims. Anybody who distributes a nude or topless picture without the victims consent, that would be illegal. Reporter authorities are cracking down. Case in point, yougotposted. Com which critics claim specialized in revenge porn, run by a 27yearold san diego man. What if something did that to your sister . Or your mother . How would you feel . Reporter kevin bollor was arrested on 31 counts of felony conspiracy, Identity Theft and extortion. Investigators say he got himself into trouble, not by simply humiliating people but charging victims 250 to 350 to remove the images using email sent through a website called changemyreputation. Com. Hes pled not guilty. Its incredibly difficult for victims to find a remedy. Its difficult to get any type of civil suits to be initiated against these perpetrators because that costs a lot of money and often does bring more publicity to the images. Reporter as Charlotte Laws celebrates the fact that more states are cracking down on revenge porn, she Knows Technology is often one step ahead. After all, people everywhere love taking pictures of themselves and sharing them. The law has not kept up with technology. Its true. There are so many pictures on the internet, theres so much information out there. I dont think theres really a way to curb that. Reporter melissa filed a complaint with the fbi but that adult website she says is trying to extort her is registered in another country. So at this point, she may have done all she can short of paying that removal fee. And even then, there are no guarantees. Im hopeful that theyll be taken down or the whole site will be taken down. I mean, im im one of many women extorted on this site every day. And, you know, i would hate for somebody to go through what ive gone through. Reporter im Mara Schiavocampo in new york city. Many states are now trying to change their laws to make it easier for victims and Law Enforcement to take action. Well be right back.
