Answer: it’s not only happening in Spain, it has been discussed on HN before with similar amounts of pedantry around the corners of the issue and not the real crux of it which is we are facing a proliferation of technology that will proliferate this sort of material. I really just have a hard time interpreting “why only in Spain” as a good faith question rather than something meaning to steer the conversation around the real problem or portray it as not-real (such as the related "if true, why don't we see this of every celebrity" comment above). Maybe it was good faith and I’ll readily take the L for interpreting it otherwise.

In any case I see now that I forgot to put the “it’s not” in my original comment.

This was at least one article that was previously discussed here (not in Spain): https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/sextortionist...
