On Febryary 8th, 2019 U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer launched a major push to curb the rampancy of a new online extortion scheme, which the Department of Justice (DOJ) has now classified as the “fastest growing online threat against children.” Specifically, Schumer explained, over the last two months multiple school districts in the Rochester-Finger Lakes Region have been targeted by online extortion predators who create fake social media identities to befriend students and obtain compromising or private information or images from the victims. According to recent reports, these criminals then use that compromising information to blackmail victims for a ransom by threatening to post it publicly.
