| Often viewed as a nuisance as opposed to a crime, “swatting” calls have become extremely common over the past decade. Intertwined with the online gaming culture, “swatting” has become so popular that there are Discord, YouTube, and Telegram channels dedicated to it. Many police departments feel that these cases will often lead them outside of their jurisdictions, or even their country, and thus they are fruitless and pointless investigations. Nothing could be further from the truth! This webinar will cover common “swatting” and VoIP abuse trends, best investigatory avenues, and case studies. |

| In recent years, the digital landscape has provided perpetrators with new tools and avenues to exploit vulnerable individuals for sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Cyber sexual abuse crimes encompass a wide range of activities, including online grooming, non-consensual sharing of intimate images (“revenge porn”), and sextortion. These crimes often serve as a precursor to sex trafficking, creating a dangerous overlap that demands urgent attention. The legal system is unable to keep pace with the rapidly evolving nature of technology and the sophistication of cybercriminal tactics. |

| In our digital era, social media platforms serve as vast archives of data that need to be effectively documented and extracted for use in investigations or for future analysis. Preservation of this data is crucial, especially in criminal cases, human trafficking, or child sexual abuse material (CSAM) cases. Extracting and safeguarding this information is essential for legal processes and ensuring safety. This webinar focuses on the strategic extraction and preservation of social media data pertinent to investigations. Participants will learn effective techniques to gather, manage, and securely store this critical information without any financial burden. |
