A TikToker known as the 'Grey Hat Hacker' has been arrested after being caught exposing private information of several women online.
The Florida-based social media creator, who has also described himself as a 'demonologist' in the past, bragged that he could track their movements via their phones.
Mark Stephen Asea, whose mugshot has unnerved many, was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail on Wednesday (September 30) after being handed a felony charge of an offense against computer users.
His arrest was linked to a previous criminal case from months ago - Asea was arrested in April on stalking and computer-related allegations, but prosecutors would drop these charges a month later.
According to court records, they would also bring forward a computer-access charge in September.
Two women accused the 36-year-old of sharing their private information in his TikTok posts, with one claiming she'd trusted him to help with a computer issue.
Asea's bond was set at $35,000, according to sheriff’s office records reported by the New York Post.
Women claim he unlawfully obtained their personal information
A detective reviewed a video where the TikToker revealed information about one woman's devices, claiming that he knew about her spending habits.
According to a transcript included in the affidavit, Asea said: “Let’s talk about your actual password,
“How about we talk about the last 10 purchases you made online?”
According to the woman, her password was only shared in a private TikTok group chat, of which Asea was not a member.
However, she suggested that he may have joined the group via a fake account.
She also told police that nobody in the chat had permission to share it with outsiders, and that she didn't know how he got her phone identification number or bank account details.
The second woman said that her worries started after she asked him for some technical help, allowing Asea to remotely access her computer in October 2025 to troubleshoot an application.
She told authorities that months on, he placed a virus on her computer while she was in the bathroom, meaning he could view sensitive information without her knowing, despite the woman never authorizing that access.
The woman further claimed that a photo from a private Telegram message on her phone was included in one of Asea's TikTok posts.
Asea's counter-claims
The creator hit back, claiming that the image in question was from an exchange on WhatsApp, but the woman provided a screenshot showing the snap in the Telegram message.
He allegedly said in the video: “Thanks to the GPS within her phone, but what did I do?” when boasting about seeing her location via her phone.
These posts, which police documented, added up, as investigators claimed Asea had over 100 TikTok videos mentioning one woman.
This could sometimes reach six videos per day, even allegedly obtaining a website where he posted a picture of her getting a tattoo.
Previous charges
Asea, whose TikTok bio describes him as a 'clairsentient', 'empath', and having 'PTSD', allegedly had an old bio which included 'former satanist' and 'cybersecurity engineer', as per an April affidavit.
The hacker faced a previous civil stalking protection case this summer, with a woman obtaining a temporary injunction in July.
Ultimately, a judge dissolved and dismissed the case on September 8.
But the case was reopened by prosecutors on September 24, with the current charge being filed, alleging unauthorized access to a computer or electronic device.
Records don't explain why the earlier charges were dropped, or what caused the renewed prosecution.
Months on, Asea is facing another felony computer-access charge, with an arraignment scheduled for November 19.
