Red flags
- Strangers or acquaintances ask for new, high quality photos of you on social media or chat apps. 'Free' AI or photo editing apps in official stores request access to your full camera roll for no clear reason. You find doctored nude images of yourself, your child or a friend circulating on forums or DMs
What to do
- 1Lock down social media privacy settings and remove public photos that clearly show your face, tattoos or identifying backgrounds
- 2Enable unique passwords and two factor authentication (2FA) on every account so attackers cannot harvest your photos through a takeover
- 3If a fake nude appears, screenshot everything, file a takedo
