Do Not Fear Cyber Extortion – Stand Up Boldly!
===================================Today, cases of cyber extortion using AI (Deepfake) technology to create realistic, altered videos of your photos that are virtually indistinguishable from reality are happening on a daily basis. This is not a problem you are facing alone, and it is not your fault.
If you routinely post personal information and photos online, you must always keep the following three points in mind and take proactive preparations:
1. Enhance Your Personal Privacy (Proactive Defense)
Always be aware that the moment you post a photo online, you run the risk of encountering this type of danger.
Restrict your photos on social media platforms so that they are not visible to everyone (set to Private or Friends Only).
Avoid oversharing personal photographs online.
2. Never Give In to Fear if Threatened (No Ransom)
If someone attempts to extort money using your photos or videos:
Do not delete anything: Securely save all threatening messages, phone numbers, and sent videos as evidence (via screenshots or exporting chats) so they can be traced.
Never pay money: If you pay once, they will treat you like a permanent wallet and demand money repeatedly.
Do not be ashamed: Remember that your shame is a weapon for the extortionists, while your courage is their downfall.
3. Report Immediately Through Technical and Legal Channels (Action)
Do not stay silent out of fear. Contact the following agencies immediately for assistance:

Precise Detection Through Technology
By fostering mutual cooperation among government departments, telecommunications companies, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and tech corporations like Telegram, Viber, and Messenger, perpetrators of these crimes can be precisely tracked down and apprehended in real time.
