I recently spoke on Cyber-Safety & CyberBullying at an event hosted by the Hawaii DOE.
The key point of my presentation was the increase of cyber blackmail that is occurring in which teens are the victims.
The blackmailer records the teen's posting, chats, photos, and videos, then uses it later to coerce the teen into committing criminal activity and/or sexual favors.
The teen often times surrenders to the demands due the content of the information that the blackmailer has.
I've updated my presentations to demo a "live" Internet session showing how webcams and Internet video streaming are putting teens at risk.
