School Websites Cyber Scheme Creating Child Abuse Images for Blackmail
Cybercriminals are employing advanced AI tools to exploit schools by transforming publicly available images of children into abusive or obscene content, creating deep fake images, and attempting to blackmail schools. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for schools to review their policies around publishing pupil/student images on websites and social media to ensure compliance with safeguarding, child protection, and data privacy laws.
In this critical webinar, Mark Orchison, founder of 9ine, will guide school leaders through:
- Understanding the evolving threat of AI-driven image exploitation.
- Proactive steps to document and evaluate risks, including conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA).
- Establishing a clear legal basis for publishing photographs and providing opportunities for consent withdrawal.
- Updating privacy notices and policies to reflect emerging risks and compliance requirements.
- Attendees will gain actionable strategies to minimize liability, protect their communities, and maintain compliance in this new era of digital risk. Ensure your school is prepared to navigate this complex and evolving challenge.
