Unterdessen gehen viele dieser Betrüger in die Richtung, dass sie die Sache für den Empfänger peinlich aussehen lassen wollen. Man habe ihn bei etwas ertappt und hätte was gegen ihn in der Hand.

Dies, um zu vermeiden, dass sich die Betroffenen an vertrauenswürdige Mitmenschen wenden, bevor sie auf die Mail reagieren.

Neue Studie zu #Cybergrooming erschienen: fast ein Viertel der Minderjährigen (13-17-Jährige) war schon von Cybergrooming betroffen, 26 % bereits von #Sextortion - dabei wurde in den meisten Fällen (42 %) damit gedroht, Chatverläufe zu veröffentlichen und am häufigsten (40 %) gefordert, sich privat zu treffen. Meist geben sich Erwachsene dabei am Anfang als Gleichaltrige aus. Zur Ansprache der Kinder werden Komplimente oder vermeintlich gleiche Interessen genutzt. Am häufigsten passierte all das auf #Snapchat (29 %) und #Instagram (27 %), gefolgt von #TikTok (18 %).

Eltern und Schule müssen Kinder dazu aufklären. Zudem ein weiteres Argument dafür, Kinder nicht zu früh soziale Medien nutzen zu lassen.

„Meta macht Profit, Kinder zahlen den Preis“ - Am Donnerstag hielten 45 Familien, die Kinder z. B. durch Sextortion oder Cybermobbing verloren haben, vor einem der Meta-Büros in Manhattan eine Mahnwache ab, um das Andenken ihrer Kinder zu ehren und um Maßnahmen zu fordern, mit deren Hilfe Meta zur Rechenschaft gezogen wird.

The slime also evolves, apparently.
