FBI sting 'unmasks' US cyber-extortionist targeting girls
The FBI has charged an American man officers believe to be behind an online extortion campaign to make young girls share explicit pictures of themselves.
Facebook messages in the name of "Brian Kil" were sent to the girls, using the Tor anonymising network, from 2012.
They threatened to kill them and their families or blow up their schools if they did not share explicit images.
The FBI says it tricked "Brian Kil" into viewing a video bearing virus-like code that logged his real net address.
