On 19 September, SCVO will be bringing together over 100 digital pioneers in Glasgow to share inspiration and experiences, and to shape a new shared vision for using digital well in organisations. We’ll be celebrating wins, looking where organisations can go next with digital, and highlighting the steps we need to get there.
Throughout 2022 and 2023, in the UK and internationally, there has been an increase in reporting of ‘Financially Motivated Sexual Extortion’– often referred to as ‘sextortion’.
Sextortion can refer to a variety of offences committed online. It is most often used to describe online blackmail, where criminals threaten to release sexual/indecent images of you, unless you pay money or carry out their demands.
Recently, at CyberUK 2024, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) made announcements on cyber resilience and cyber skills: included in these announcements were calls for views on two new codes of practice for software security and the cyber security of AI, and a call for views on the future of the CyberFirst scheme.
They are keen to hear your views on these initiatives.
