Case Study: a worried father and New York State Police identify a teen sextortionist with Rexxfield

Worried Father identifies teen sextortionist with Rexxfield using IP and device artifacts

A worried father from New York contacted Rexxfield after his teenage daughter became a victim of sextortion on Instagram and Snapchat. The anonymous criminal was threatening to send her pictures to friends if she did not comply with his demands. The father had already involved the New York State Police but sought Rexxfield's expertise to identify the antagonist responsible.

Rexxfield engaged with the sextortionist using the victim's profile and a friend's profile with permission. Utilizing social engineering and proprietary software, they captured the criminal's IP address and device details despite his use of a VPN. This information was used to ghostwrite a subpoena for law enforcement, leading to the identification of the sextortionist. Rexxfield successfully provided the crucial evidence needed for the investigation.
