Sextortion guides and manuals found on Telegram and YouTube | Cybercrime | The Guardian

Hey parents, things your children find on YouTube instead of me. Oh so resounding, oh what a shame, what a shame, what a shame …


Detailed written manuals and video guides to financially motivated sexual extortion – commonly known as sextortion – are available freely online, with criminals offering specialist and tailored tuition for further payment, the Guardian has learned.

The guides can be found on platforms including YouTube and Telegram.

In cases of sextortion, teenagers are tricked online into sending intimate pictures of themselves to fraudsters who then demand money and threaten to share the material with others.
