Morphing scams targeting women: What are they and how to stay safe

Share via:

As cyber attacks continue to rise, women are increasingly becoming targets. One form of attack is digital morphing, where criminals alter or change photos of the person using online tools. This is often done with photos posted online by young girls and women, and the morphed pictures are then used for blackmail, creating fake profiles, and other malicious purposes. To stay safe, enable security and privacy features on social media accounts, avoid sharing personal pictures publicly, use watermarks on shared pictures, enable multi-factor authentication, and seek help if you are targeted.
