Abstract :
Cyberextortion is a method of online extortion by the perpetrators where the demand is usually a huge amount of money or any other favour in exchange of not carrying out any harm to the victim’s private information . The methods that are generally used by extortionist involve “incapacitating†the targeted victim by way of DoS (Denial of Service) attack or blackmailing the victim to surrender him/her to the demands of the perpetrator etc. Cyberextortion is one like a proverbial elephant in a room, a problem which is so serious and grave but has never been discussed.
