We have shared a few tips <strong>for</strong> preventing sextortion scams.<br />
1. Use burner email addresses, also known as disposable email addresses <strong>for</strong> temporary online<br />
accounts.<br />
2. Don't share any photos that you think can be misused against you. If you aren’t sure, don’t do it even<br />
with someone you trust.<br />
3. Never send money to someone who contacts you unexpectedly.<br />
4. If the person is asking <strong>for</strong> money in order to send pictures back, this is most likely a scam.<br />
5. Do not give out personal data ever! If they know where you live and have your full name, it's even<br />
easier <strong>for</strong> them to extort more from you using fear.<br />
6. Do not ever share any personal in<strong>for</strong>mation with anyone online.<br />
7. If you fear someone may have actually accessed your account and taken compromising pictures of<br />
yourself, contact the authorities and check your local law en<strong>for</strong>cement official websites. Ask <strong>for</strong> help in<br />
getting those images removed.<br />
8. Use two-factor authentication on all accounts.<br />
9. Always use secure passwords with both letters and numbers, so it's harder to guess or hack your<br />
account. Use a password manager <strong>for</strong> easy handling of all your passwords<br />
10. Create a unique secure password <strong>for</strong> every website (especially social media) using a password<br />
manager. If possible, use a password manager to store all your secrets and generate them randomly<br />
when required.<br />
11. Set up automatic security alerts, so you know if your accounts have been accessed by someone<br />
other than yourself.<br />
12. Don't open emails from unknown people, and always check the link associated with it, look out <strong>for</strong><br />
the red flags such as hyphens in the address, typo squatting errors or too good to be true offers giving<br />
away hints about a possible scam.<br />
How will I know if I'm being targeted by a sextortion email scam?<br />
Sextortion scams have several different warning signs to look out <strong>for</strong>. If the sender asks you <strong>for</strong> money<br />
in order to send pictures back, this is most probably a scam and should be deleted immediately.<br />
Scammers also often use threats of physical violence or public humiliation as leverage against the<br />
potential victim. If you ever receive a sextortion email like this, delete it and do not send any money to<br />
the sender. Most importantly, if someone is threatening physical violence or your loved ones unless you<br />
pay up- contact law en<strong>for</strong>cement officials right away!<br />
