Meta Platforms a annonc\u00e9 mercredi qu'elle avait supprim\u00e9 environ 63 000 comptes de ses plates-formes dans les pays suivants Nig\u00e9ria<\/a> qui tentaient de se livrer \u00e0 des extorsions financi\u00e8res \u00e0 caract\u00e8re sexuel, ciblant principalement des hommes adultes dans les pays suivants \u00c9tats-Unis<\/a>. Ces escroqueries, souvent perp\u00e9tr\u00e9es par des fraudeurs en ligne nig\u00e9rians connus sous le nom de \u201cYahoo boys\u201d, sont connues pour leurs diverses pratiques trompeuses, y compris la sextorsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le m\u00e9dias sociaux<\/a> giant a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que la plupart des comptes se trouvaient sur Instagram, et que 7 200 autres comptes, pages et groupes sur Facebook avaient \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 supprim\u00e9s pour avoir promu des techniques d'escroquerie. Meta a \u00e9galement d\u00e9mantel\u00e9 un r\u00e9seau plus petit d'environ 2 500 comptes li\u00e9s \u00e0 un groupe d'une vingtaine d'individus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La sextorsion consiste \u00e0 menacer des personnes de publier des photos compromettantes, vraies ou fausses, \u00e0 moins qu'une ran\u00e7on ne soit vers\u00e9e. Si la plupart des tentatives des escrocs ont \u00e9chou\u00e9, Meta a signal\u00e9 que certaines d'entre elles visaient des mineurs, qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 transmis au Centre national am\u00e9ricain pour les enfants disparus et exploit\u00e9s (U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les repr\u00e9sentants de Meta ont soulign\u00e9 que ce n'\u00e9tait pas la premi\u00e8re fois qu'ils perturbaient de tels r\u00e9seaux, mais ils ont r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 cette op\u00e9ration pour sensibiliser le public. Cette annonce intervient alors que Meta fait l'objet d'une surveillance accrue de la part des gouvernements, notamment aux \u00c9tats-Unis, o\u00f9 les l\u00e9gislateurs font pression sur l'entreprise pour qu'elle r\u00e9ponde aux inqui\u00e9tudes concernant les dommages potentiels que ses services pourraient causer aux enfants.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
