When I read pieces like https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/09/sextortion-scams-now-include-photos-of-your-home/ from @briankrebs , I can't help but think about how easy data breaches and generative AI make this scam.
The data breaches give names, addresses, phone numbers, usernames, passwords, etc -- all small details that can be spun together to create a more believable story.
Then, if no picture is included in the breach, it's not too difficult to get one, and with that, a fake video could be sent with the sextortion clip.
