Crisis Support
You're not alone.
Here's what to do.
If someone is threatening to share intimate images of you, take a breath. This is not your fault. It happens to thousands of people every day, and there are concrete steps you can take right now.
Everything below is free. No account required. If you need hands-on help, we're here for that too.
What to do right now
These steps are free and you can start immediately. No sign-up, no paywall.
Do not pay
Paying almost never stops them. In most cases it leads to more demands. You are not buying safety — you are funding their operation.
Do not delete evidence
Screenshot every message, username, profile, and threat. Save URLs. This evidence is critical for reporting and takedowns.
Block them everywhere
Block the person on every platform they contacted you on. Do not engage further — any response gives them leverage.
Report to the platforms
Report the account on Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, or wherever they reached you. Platforms have dedicated teams for this and can remove content quickly.
Report to authorities
File a report with the FBI IC3 (ic3.gov). If the victim is under 18, also report to NCMEC CyberTipline. Contact your local police as well.
Tell someone you trust
A friend, family member, counselor — anyone. Isolation is what the attacker wants. Telling someone breaks that power immediately.
This is bigger than you think
Sextortion is one of the fastest-growing cybercrimes in the world. It disproportionately targets teens and young adults, but no one is immune.
