Safety Update from Diocesan Security

You may have heard a headline in the news yesterday that concerns us all.  The FBI issued a new warning about an evolving online threat targeting minors and young adults: financially motivated sextortion. Our diocesan security coordinator shared the details with us and we feel it appropriate to share them with you.

In these schemes, the predators typically pretend to be alluring young girls to befriend teen boys – often on social media and gaming platforms. The predator ultimately tricks the teens into exchanging sexually explicit material. Once the scammers have the picture(s) or video(s), they demand money to keep it from being shared.
