Cyber hacking moves to violence and harm of children

The report describes an escalation of organized online criminal groups (referred to as “the Com”) that combine cybercrime—ransomware, SIM-swapping, corporate data theft, doxing—and platform abuse with real-world physical harm, including sextortion and coercion of minors; it notes use of messaging platforms, social engineering (vishing/phishing), and compromised home security for swatting while emphasizing law enforcement challenges.
