United States says in a study, "sexual blackmail" – use of nude photos of some people get more indecent content or anything else--are surprisingly common. The think tank believes that this is the cyberspace is the other, the first in-depth study.

According to Agence France-Presse reported on May 11, said most of the victims were young people, and against multiple targets are almost always men, and almost all of the adult victims were women. Most of the victims are anonymous so as not to lose face.

Or even "blackmail" is not a real word, but prosecutors used a colloquial term used to refer to violations does not fully conform to any of the categories.

Reports said extortion can invade a person's computer to steal photos or videos, or intrusive network cameras, and then using them to blackmail the victim.

网络“性敲诈”现象猖獗：受害者多青少年 - 网络诈骗,青少年 - IT资讯

美国一项研究中说，“性敲诈”行为——利用一些人的裸照获取更不雅的内容或者其他东西——惊人地普遍。该智库认为这是对网络空间正在出现的另一种危险的首次深入研究。

据法新社5月11日报道，研究说，大多数受害者都是青少年，而侵害者几乎总是对多个目标下手的男子，而且几乎所有的成年受害者都是女性。大多数受害者都选择匿名以免丢脸。

11日发布这项研究结果的布鲁金斯学会说，尽管美国执法官员承认这一问题，但还没有机构或者相关组织保留这方面的数据。

甚至就连“性敲诈”也并非一个真正的词，而是检察官使用的一个俗语，用来代指不完全符合任何一个类别的侵害行为。

报道称，性敲诈可以通过侵入某人的电脑窃取色情照片或者视频，或者侵入网络照相机，然后利用这些内容对受害者进行敲诈。

这份报告还提供了有关实际的性敲诈案件的可怕细节。

在其中一个案例中，一名女子打开一封来路不明的邮件，而后发现了她自己的不雅照，还有有关她的工作、丈夫和三个孩子的资料，以及一项获得她的情色视频的要求。
