Sexual exploitation actors continue to target adult and underage victims by illegally accessing their social media accounts to steal their explicit content and post it for sale on criminal marketplaces.
Key tips to protect yourself:
▶️ Avoid storing sensitive images or videos on social media platforms
▶️ Use unique passphrases and multi-factor authentication and avoid using password information that is directly associated with your identity
▶️ Be cautious with embedded links in emails and texts - verify the sender and purpose before clicking - and treat unrequested temporary passwords, PIN resets, or access coded as suspicious

🚨ANOTHER TEN MOST WANTED FUGITIVE CAPTURED🚨
Anibal Alexander Canelon Aguirre is the 10th Ten Most Wanted fugitive captured by this FBI since January 2025. He is the first ever Cyber fugitive on FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Now he’s back in the United States to face justice.
These criminals can run, but they cannot hide from this FBI.
Today we’re announcing Operation KillSwitch, a joint sequenced operation led by @FBISanJuan targeting the Kill Security Ransomware Group (“KillSec”). Authorities in the U.S. and Europe took control of KillSec’s leak site, securing at least 110 terabytes of data against further criminal access, and arrested Dutch national Fouad Eltibrizi, an alleged KillSec member who is now pending extradition to the United States.
As part of this global operation, @FBI and its partners made two additional arrests and carried out eight residential searches across Europe, seizing digital infrastructure, evidence, and criminal assets.
KillSec conducts targeted intrusions worldwide, exploiting vulnerabilities to steal sensitive data and extort victims. The group is linked to 1,000 suspected cyberattacks across the globe.
The arrests and other actions have imposed serious cost and degraded the adversary’s core capabilities. We have undermined the group’s ability to rebuild, limited their operational reach, and reduced the likelihood of future attacks.
The operation was conducted in close cooperation with Europol, Eurojust, Germany (LKA541), Spain (Guardia Civil and Mossos d’Esquadra), the United Kingdom (Eastern Region Special Operations Unit), Romania (Central Cybercrime Unit), Greece (Hellenic Police), Belgium (Federal Police), as well as authorities in Switzerland (Federal Office of Police). The Netherlands also provided valuable assistance leading up to the takedown. https://t.co/D9M14zQgYG
