Cyber Yodha launch “Cyber Safe Education Program” to create awareness regarding latest cyber crime online blackmailing , which is also known as Sextortion
What is Sextortion ?
Sextortion is a serious crime that occurs when someone threatens to distribute your private and sensitive material if you don’t provide them images of a sexual nature, sexual favors, or money.
Most of the time, these crimes happen when young people think they are talking to someone their age who is interested in a relationship or is giving them something of value.
The adults who perpetrate these crimes use threats, gifts, money, flattery, lies, or other methods to get a child or young person to give them explicit pictures.
Shivam Giri (Founder & CEO ) say after the criminal has one or more of these videos or phots, they then threaten to share or publish them. They may also threaten violence to get the victim to send more pictures.
The shame, fear, and confusion children feel when they are caught in this cycle often causes them to avoid asking for help or report the abuse.
Officials are asking caregivers and children caught in these situations to understand how the crime happens and openly discuss online safety
