Sextortion crisis reaches catastrophic levels in Australia

Dela

Online blackmail and sexual extortion, known as sextortion, has reached catastrophic levels with Australia's online safety watchdog receiving over 2,000 complaints in six months. The crime primarily targets young men and people over 60, with perpetrators using AI technology including deepfakes and nudify apps to create or manipulate intimate images for extortion purposes. Digital wellness expert Dr Joanne Orlando discusses prevention strategies, how to have conversations with family members about the threat, and the importance of reporting incidents to police without paying demands.
