Digital Safety & Support Resources

Respond to harassment, impersonation, intimate-image abuse, account compromise, or unsafe community behavior without improvising alone.

In brief: Safety needs differ. Preserve evidence only when it is safe, use the platform’s official reporting path, and seek local legal or emergency help when the risk extends beyond the platform.

Stabilize the account and the moment

Change compromised credentials from a trusted device, enable multi-factor authentication, review active sessions, and tell trusted contacts if an impersonator may approach them.

Save URLs, usernames, dates, and original messages when doing so will not increase danger.
Do not negotiate with an extortionist or send more material.
Use a separate contact method if the affected account may be monitored.
Verify Mello Zone destinations through its official platform directory.

Specialist resources

The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative provides image-abuse support and a U.S. helpline. RAINN provides confidential sexual-assault support and referrals. Each organization controls its own privacy, eligibility, and response.
