A:
I'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through. It's crucial to act quickly to protect your privacy and well-being. First, contact local law enforcement immediately to report the unauthorized sharing of your intimate content and the tampering with your devices. They can help you start an investigation and take steps to secure your safety.
Additionally, reach out to a cybercrime unit or an online safety organization for advice on how to handle the situation and remove the content from the web. They can guide you through the process of contacting websites and social media platforms to request the removal of the unauthorized content. This may involve filling out specific forms or providing proof of the violation of your privacy.
It's also important to secure your digital devices. Consider having a professional check your laptop and phone for malware or spyware. They can help ensure that your devices are safe to use and advise you on how to enhance your digital security moving forward. Reaching out to a trusted friend or family member for support during this difficult time can also be very helpful.
