Online Extortion

Detect, Stop & Investigate Cyber Extortion

Cyber extortion is a growing threat to businesses – targeted attacks, ransom demands, and data leaks can cause massive financial and reputational damage. We act swiftly and professionally: with forensic IT analysis, international tracking, and real-world investigative support. Our goal: help you regain control – without paying the ransom.

What Is Online Extortion?

Digital blackmail is no longer rare. Common methods include:

• DDoS attacks (“Pay or your website stays offline”),
• Threats to leak stolen data, or
• Ransomware that encrypts systems and demands payment

These tactics are often deployed against companies to extort money – with severe legal, financial, and reputational consequences.

Typical Real-World Scenarios

• Your website or online store is taken offline by mass traffic attacks
• Unknown attackers demand Bitcoin payments to stop the assault
• Confidential data (e.g., customer records, internal emails) are threatened with exposure
• Extortionists threaten smear campaigns unless hush money is paid
