The only thing about this that I’m concerned about is what happens when ransomware levels up and starts creating plausible scenarios of impropriety with photorealistic evidence.
Imagine you get a text one day:
“This is Sharon, I need you to send me $1000 via crypto or I’ll send these photos of us at the hotel to your wife”. Followed by sexually explicit photos of you and a woman who works at your company, but you’ve never even met in person, only ever zoom meetings.
You call the number and the person who answers sounds just like Sharon. She ignores everything you say, tells you that you have an hour to send the money or she’s going to call your wife, tell her “everything” and send the photos then hangs up.
