A blackmail investigation involves looking into cases where someone threatens to reveal personal or sensitive information (like intimate photos, videos, or secrets) unless a demand often money is met. This can happen online or offline and often causes emotional, financial, or reputational harm to the victim. Investigators usually work to identify the blackmailer, gather evidence (such as messages, calls, or digital traces), stop further threats, and assist in legal action.
