Deputies in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, said Marrero resident Haydee Ortiz, first treated as a victim, was allegedly linked to an online impersonation and extortion campaign. It involved purportedly AI-generated sexual images and violent threats. Sexual media of one victim was sent to family and friends, and a person was threatened unless money was paid.
What this means for youFake sexual images made with AI can be used to threaten and extort people, and to impersonate them online. If you receive such threats, keep the messages and report them to police rather than paying.
