Private Photos: In this modern era, smartphones play a very important role in our daily lives. We capture our memories on our smartphones, but some of us have captured some very private stuff on our phones as well. Sometimes these private images or videos get leaked online. It can happen because of our clumsiness or due to hacking. In this article, we have listed the 5 steps you must take if your private photos or videos get leaked online.
Private Photos leaked: What to do?
1. Go to the police
In such a case, you should first speak with the police to let them know what has happened. As much proof as you can gather, try to do it while keeping meticulous notes. These may be screenshots of the website where your photo is located. Your safety is the police’s top priority. You can do this by registering a case at the police station, online, or through the cybercrime unit website.
2. Keep yourself away from the internet
Use technology, including your smartphone, as little as possible. This is because you’ll become more irritated and depressed the more images you see.
3. Do not harm yourself or others
You will have multiple emotions in such a scenario and you might get thoughts of hurting yourself or others for revenge. DO NOT take any such step. Hurting yourself or anyone else will not solve the problem but for sure will make it worse.
4. Accept what has happened
The first step to move on is to accept what has happened. Even though you are forced to accept it, it is really difficult. Take this as a lesson and move on.
5. Reach out to a psychologist if needed
Consult a psychologist who can assist you in overcoming the experience.
