BHOPAL: A 30-year-old woman in Jabalpur district has been asked to pay Rs 2 crore in Bitcoins by cyber scammers to keep them from uploading her pictures on pornographic websites . Police registered a case on Wednesday after receiving the complaint. The origin of the email has been traced to Philippines “This seems to be mischief. The complainant is being blackmailed by miscreants who are threatening to upload her pictures on obscene sites if she fails to meet their demand. We are trying to trace the culprit,” said Ashish, superintendent of police, Jabalpur. According to sources, the woman, who belongs to an influential family, was terrified after receiving the ransom demand via email.“She was told that her personal information, including her pictures, will be released to their (blackmailers’) social media contacts, family, and friends, besides being uploaded on pornographic sites, if a ransom is not paid. “The recipient has been instructed to pay in Bitcoins with an extremely tight deadline,” said a police officer.Police admit that probing this case would not be easy. “In such cases, it has been found that accused use TOR web browser, making it harder to trace their servers. Using Bitcoins as a payment option makes tracing the money more complex,” he said.TOR is a web browser which aims to conceal its users’ identities and their online activity from surveillance by separating identification and routing.
