What is Cyber Kidnapping?
Cyber Kidnapping: Cyber Kidnapping is a kind of crime where the criminals trick their victims into hiding. Later, they get in touch with the victim’s family and ask for money. To make it seem real, the victim is made to take pictures that make it look like they are being held against their will, often showing themselves tied up or with their mouths covered. These misleading pictures are sent to the family, making it seem like there’s a danger. The victim and their family are made to think that not doing what the kidnappers want could put their loved ones in danger.
