ReputationUP and Cyberights are committed to fighting sextortion, offering a comprehensive response that includes content removal, as well as legal and psychological protection for victims. Their mission is clear: to give victims back control of their lives and make the internet a safer place for everyone.
Sextortion is one of the most insidious and growing threats in the digital world. This form of sexual extortion uses intimate images or videos of victims to blackmail them, often demanding money or other favors in exchange for not spreading the compromising material.
ReputationUP, in collaboration with Cyberights, responds to sextortion with an immediate solution, utilizing intelligence technologies and advanced monitoring tools to protect and support victims.
“In these cases, it is more necessary than ever to act quickly and effectively to prevent private content from being published and spread against the victim’s will. From this perspective, the synergy between ReputationUP and Cyberights allows, on one hand, to minimize the effects of this crime by locating and removing already published content, and on the other hand, to ensure that the victim’s rights are recognized, also through fair compensation,” comments Andrea Baggio, European General Manager of the ReputationUP Group, to which both companies belong.
Sextortion uses private content obtained through hacking, phishing, or emotional manipulation to blackmail victims through digital platforms. The anonymity guaranteed by the web facilitates the spread of such abuses, making rapid and effective intervention essential.
“To aggravate a situation that is already very delicate, today we must consider that some of this content, as well as deep fakes, can be created using artificial intelligence,” explains Baggio.
Victims of sextortion often find themselves isolated, with their privacy and security at risk, and may suffer serious psychological damage, including anxiety and depression. The demand for money is just one of the pressures exerted by blackmailers.
ReputationUP, a leader in online reputation management, in collaboration with Cyberights, uses technology to identify and combat cases of sextortion in real time. But how does this service really work?
– Immediate Assistance and Counseling: In the first contact, a team of experts offers counseling to evaluate the situation and establish a personalized action plan. The goal is to act quickly to minimize damage.
– Content Removal: The dedicated team, in collaboration with Cyberights, using advanced monitoring tools, proceeds to identify and then remove compromising content from online platforms. This rapid action is vital to prevent the spread of the material.
– Continuous Monitoring: Thanks to state-of-the-art tools, ReputationUP continues to continuously monitor the network to prevent the reappearance of deleted material and intervene quickly if necessary.
– Legal Support: Through collaboration with Cyberights, ReputationUP also provides a legal assistance service to address legal issues related to sextortion.
In addition to their online work, ReputationUP and Cyberights also promote joint initiatives to educate the public on sextortion and how to protect themselves online, reducing the risk and impact of these crimes.
