Protect your accounts
- Use a different, long password for each important account.
- Turn on two-step verification for email and social media.
- Review which apps can see your location and photos.
If you are being harassed
- Do not engage with the harasser.
- Save evidence: screenshots with dates, links and usernames.
- Report and block the account on the platform.
- Contact Sri Lanka CERT or the police (109) for help.
Remember: it is never your fault.
