Quote from FBI Boston Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks regarding the sentencing of Jonathan Alan Lefman// “This verdict delivers justice for a young teen who showed remarkable courage following an appalling act. No one should ever be subjected to such harmful and predatory conduct—least of all in a confined, public space where she was entitled to feel safe. The FBI is fully committed to protecting children and ensuring those who exploit or abuse them, like Mr. Lefman, are brought to justice.”

Sexual exploitation actors continue to target adult and underage victims by illegally accessing their social media accounts to steal their explicit content and post it for sale on criminal marketplaces. Key tips to protect yourself: ▶️ Avoid storing sensitive images or videos on social media platforms. ▶️ Use unique passphrases and multi-factor authentication and avoid using password information that is directly associated with your identity. ▶️ Be cautious with embedded links in emails and texts—verify sender and purpose before clicking—and treat unrequested temporary passwords, PIN resets, or access codes as suspicious. If you believe you are a victim, please report it at ncii.ic3.gov. For more details and victim resources, read the FBI’s #PSA: ic3.gov/PSA/2026/PSA260810

At the 10th annual Boston Conference on Cyber Security @BCLAW, Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks highlighted how strong partnerships with law enforcement, academia, government and the private sector help us defend networks, attribute malicious cyber activity, sanction bad behavior, and take the fight to our adversaries overseas. The earlier #FBI Boston can engage with organizations impacted by cyber intrusions, the better we can leverage our world-class capabilities to prevent cybercriminals from victimizing others. This #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, learn how the FBI can help your organization at fbi.gov/CyberPartnerships.

#FBI Boston's Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks kicked off our 10th annual Boston Conference on Cybersecurity @BCLAW today bringing together leaders in law enforcement, academia, & the private sector to discuss best practices in creating a more secure cyber-space amidst the growing threats posed by nation-states and cybercriminals. Last year, Americans reported losing more than $20 BILLION to cybercriminals. New Englanders lost almost $600 MILLION - which is only a fraction of the true cost - highlighting the magnitude of this threat. Among the hardest hit: healthcare, information technology, and government services. Special thanks to #FBI Operations Director Jose Perez who delivered the keynote address outlining the #FBI's new cyber strategy, which is Actor Focused, Victim Centered, and Partner Driven as we work to make cybercrime harder, riskier, and far less profitable for those behind it.

Thousands of North Korean IT workers are infiltrating companies across the world, generating millions of dollars for the North Korean regime and gaining access to sensitive corporate networks. Posing as legitimate remote employees, they use stolen identities, earn salaries from unwitting companies, exploit their access to steal data, and funnel their earnings back to North Korea. The scheme relies on a network of facilitators – including Americans – who are paid to appear on camera, participate in job interviews, verify fraudulent identities, and keep employment-related devices connected to the internet at personal residences. U.S. companies should recognize the scale and persistence of the threat and review our updated @FBI PSA for mitigation guidance: ic3.gov/PSA/2026/PSA261013
