The Yahoo boys are a sophisticated group of Nigerian cybercriminals. Their name comes from the email service Yahoo, which became popular in Nigeria in the 2000s. They started using Yahoo email accounts to scam people. Today we discuss a critical and crucial new intelligence threat report from the Network Contagion Research Group. Financial sextortion is the fastest growing crime targeting children in North America—accelerating at an alarming rate, with incidents surging up 1,000% in the past 18+ months. Cybercriminals are using fake social media accounts to coerce victims, almost all of them boys, into sharing an explicit photo. As soon as the criminal receives the photo, they threaten to (and sometimes do) expose the photo to the victim’s friends, family, and followers unless a ransom is paid. These criminals employ ruthless tactics to intimidate their victims, inflicting lasting trauma and immense distress–which has led to teens harming themselves and worse. This new report and investigation unveils previously unreported views into the social media platforms where these criminals share their sextortion scripts, tools, and methods, which has allowed this crime to proliferate at an exponential rate.

🔴WARNING. Reality. Buckle up. Addiction. Abuse. Mental Health. Exploitation. Trauma.

We have an epidemic going on in the United States. Let’s once and for all discuss these critical and crucial issues openly and honestly affecting every town, city and rural area in America. No one is exempt. What’s needed? Recovery. Resources. Take actions. #communitycreateschange Mike Anthony Jones joins the Warriors to explain why he created the Recovery Channel Streaming Network. Mike has a very personal reason – he lost his beautiful son to illicit fentanyl. We are so thankful to Mike for being the voice for so many parents, family members and the public, that are vulnerable and suffering traumas. Mike, along with you, wants to empower the next generation.

The Recovery Channel is a 24/7 365 platform available now on Roku, full of original content and just getting started. The goal of TRC is raising awareness, education, health and wellness, expert guests, resources, healing, take actions, community forums and so much more. Approximately 25 million people in America suffer from substance use disorder (SUD), and 22 million are in recovery. This issue also impacts around 30 million family members. Altogether, nearly 80 million Americans have been affected by SUD. Alarmingly, addiction rates are rising among youth as young as 12, with those under 14 experiencing the fastest-growing death rate from fentanyl. This stark reality highlights the urgent need for widespread awareness. The TRC audience will include those directly affected, medical professionals, law enforcement, and emergency services personnel who frequently encounter SUD cases.

Call to Action:

Sexually violent content is shaping the sexual behaviour of adults and children in Ireland, according to research by the Sexual Exploitation Research and Policy Institute of Ireland (SERP).

The study – commissioned by the domestic violence organisation Women’s Aid and funded by the Community Foundation of Ireland – reveals that much of what features in mainstream pornography constitutes sexual violence.

‘Facing Reality: Addressing the Role of Pornography in the Pandemic of Violence against Women and Girls’, draws on international and Irish research.

It says the multibillion-euro business of pornography seeking to normalise extreme acts and promote the dehumanisation of women and girls.

Ireland ranks 42nd for traffic on one of the world’s most popular mainstream pornography websites Pornhub and is regularly in the top 20 for other popular porn sites.

Stripchat which describes itself as a ‘social network’ and a ‘community’ featuring free live-streamed webcam ‘performances’ is also hugely popular.

This site has ranked quite consistently in the top 20 most popular websites in Ireland for at least the past two years.

Jose Alfaro grew up in a small, conservative town in Texas. “I wasn’t as masculine as the other boys in school. And I really, really struggled with that,” he told Inside Edition Digital. After he was forced to leave home as a teen because of his sexuality, Jose got into the car of an older man he’d met on MySpace. “I think that at a time where you’re so isolated and you feel so alone, the one thing that you want is to form a connection with somebody who understands you,”
