Report to Police

Pay-to-delete kompromat may constitute extortion, cybercrime, or fraud depending on jurisdiction. An official police report creates a record, supports platform takedowns, and may contribute to investigations.

United States — FBI IC3

Agency: Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)

When to use: You are a US person or the extortion significantly targets US victims.

Include: All URLs, screenshots, archive links, email/Telegram messages, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, amounts demanded, and dates. Reference that the domain network is documented in IPS News (June 2025).

Note: IC3 accepts complaints from victims worldwide but routes based on jurisdiction. You may also contact your local FBI field office for high-value or urgent cases.

European Union — Europol

Portal: Europol Report a Crime

When to use: You are an EU resident or operators use EU infrastructure.

Include: Same evidence package as IC3. Note any .se, .eu, or EU-hosted domains involved. Europol coordinates cross-border cybercrime — individual EU member states also have national cybercrime units that accept direct reports.

National units: Contact your country's cybercrime police directly in parallel (e.g., Germany BKA, France OCLCTIC, Netherlands police cyber team).

United Kingdom — Action Fraud

Portal: Action Fraud

When to use: You are a UK resident or the harm occurred primarily in the UK.

Include: Full evidence package. UK blackmail laws (Blackmail Act 1968) may apply to demands for cryptocurrency in exchange for not publishing or for removing damaging material.

Reference number: Action Fraud provides a crime reference number — cite this in hosting abuse emails and Google removal requests.

Ukraine — Cyber Police

Portal: Cyber Police of Ukraine

When to use: Investigative reporting alleges network coordination from Ukraine; operators or infrastructure may trace to Ukrainian entities.

Include: Domain names, Telegram channel names, wallet addresses, and links to IPS News / Dutable reporting. Article 189 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine addresses extortion.

Language: Forms may accept English; attach a concise English summary with any local-language attachments.
