Cyber kidnapping is a crime where online attackers trick victims into isolating themselves and taking photos that make it look like they're being held captive. The attackers then send the photos to the victim's family and demand a ransom.
Cyber kidnapping typically involves criminals calling or messaging a victim to trick them into thinking a loved one has been kidnapped. The victims comply under the belief their family will otherwise be harmed.
In some cases, the scammers may even contact the victim via webcam and send voice recordings to the families.
