🖥 As #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth continues throughout October, we are sharing important information to help everyone protect themselves online.
‼ We are warning of an emerging sextortion scam involving high-pressure tactics from scammers who claim to have compromising images & the personal information of citizens.
In most cases, these scammers have used information from previous data breaches & mapping tools to threaten their targets & do not actually possess compromising images of the individual.
📣 Everyone is encouraged to ignore these threats & report them to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or police.
