June is Internet Safety Month, and today we are focusing on a growing online threat: Sextortion. It’s a fast-growing online crime, and it relies entirely on three things: fear, panic, and secrecy. Sextortion is a form of online blackmail where the perpetrators trick or coerce victims into sharing explicit photos or videos and then threaten to distribute them unless specific demands are met. These demands could include money (financial sextortion), addition n**e images, or other favors. If this happens to you or someone you know, please reach out for help!
