What is online blackmail or extortion?

Digital blackmail encompasses a variety of tactics in which criminals use threats or manipulation to extort money, sensitive data or other concessions. Common forms of blackmailing are:

1. Email blackmail:
   Fraudsters claim to have hacked your computer or smartphone. They pretend to have access to compromising photos or videos and demand payments, often in the form of Bitcoin.

   • Fact: In most cases, this is a lie and the perpetrators have neither evidence nor access to your devices..

2. Fake profiles or hacked accounts are used to threaten victims. Manipulated content or sensitive data is used as leverage.

3. Romance Scams:
   Perpetrators build trust over weeks or months in order to subsequently blackmail their victims with intimate information or images.

4. Blackmail through data leaks:
   Sensitive information obtained through hacks or security breaches is used as leverage.

5. Messenger blackmail:
   Victims receive threats via platforms such as WhatsApp, Skype or Instagram, often accompanied by fake evidence or screenshots.

• Threats: They claim to have compromising content or threaten to publish sensitive data.
• Demands: They usually demand money, often in the form of Bitcoin, or other concessions.
