A new form of sextortion has emerged, where attackers not only threaten to release compromising images or videos but also use location information to intimidate victims. They claim to have detailed knowledge of where the victim lives, adding a layer of physical fear to the threat. This escalates the coercion level, making victims more likely to comply with the extortionists' demands.
Tactics Used
The attackers may have obtained location information through phishing, social engineering, or by exploiting data leaked from other compromised sources.
Recommendations
Victims of such attacks are advised not to comply with the extortionists' demands and to report the incident to the appropriate authorities.
