FBI says cybercriminals are hacking into victims' online accounts to steal their intimate pictures | TechCrunch

FBI 警告称，网络犯罪分子正入侵成人及儿童社交媒体账号以窃取其私密图片与视频。攻击者主要利用社会工程学手段，通过暴力破解、冒充客服或发送钓鱼邮件等方式实施犯罪，受害者常面临勒索、内容被公开传播、骚扰、跟踪等二次伤害，部分青少年甚至因此自残。FBI 特别指出学生运动员因公开档案而频繁成为目标，并建议用户使用密码管理器存储唯一密码、开启多因素认证，同时警惕非官方渠道声称代表社交平台的联系，避免将私密照片存储在在线账号中。
