Women's pix on social media, morphed and misused

Indian eves will hereafter need to be careful about uploading their pictures on social media. Hackers are using the pictures of beautiful girls, morphing them and uploading on pornographic sites. This is surprisingly rampant and accounts for 40% women's pictures uploaded in the social media. A survey conducted by an English daily has given the details. Although ethical hackers are trying to curb the menace, they are not able to match those who do the morphing for illegal purposes. Morphing of women's pictures and uploading them on pornographic sites is the biggest cyber crime, it is stated. Police tackling cyber crimes do not go into the problem because there are not many complaints against the practice. In any case, girls will do well while uploading their pictures on the social media. Most of those frequenting the social media normally try to conceal their photo identity to avoid unnecessary embarrassment by posting kids' pictures or a distant shot, half-hidden pictures or wearing dark glasses or some such trick. This is because morphing is easy for cyber criminals.
