The https://linuxsecurity.com/news/security-trends/internet-blackmail-digital-extortion-2025 piece on 2025 digital extortion trends is eye-opening! It captures the scary rise of internet blackmail, with AI-driven scams and sextortion up 67% since 2023. The focus on proactive defense—strong passwords, 2FA, and spotting phishing—hits home, especially after I nearly fell for a shady email. I wish it included more on open-source tools for Linux users to counter these threats. Still, it’s a clear, urgent call to tighten security. Everyone should read this and stay one step ahead of these crooks!
