The first thing that’s going to happen after an age verification provider inevitably gets hacked/popped, is some really scary extortion…

As nicely summarised here by boondaburrah on Twitter, the customer base of an age verification provider provides a target-rich environment of people who have been viewing porn and probably don’t want to talk about it in public. This makes them ripe for extortionists.

Avoid age verification, use VPNs to reduce your digital footprint.

Here comes the inevitable and ugly evolution of the sextortion scam. For years, these scams have been pure social engineering, a bluff based on a stolen password list. Now, we are seeing malware that actually executes the threat: it compromises a machine, activates the webcam, and captures an image for blackmail.

The psychological impact of a real photo versus a fake claim is massive, making this far more effective. It is a stark reminder that the simplest scams are often the most durable, and they will always evolve to incorporate new tech. The core defense remains the same, though: basic security hygiene, endpoint protection, and maybe some old-school tape over your webcam.

TL;DR
A classic sextortion scam has been upgraded with real spyware.
📸 The malware compromises a target's device and secretly takes a picture using their own webcam.
💰 This real photo is then used as credible leverage for a much more convincing blackmail attempt.
✅ This raises the stakes significantly, but defense still comes down to fundamentals like endpoint security and user awareness.
