Online Course Sextortion: Udemy and Learning Platform Scams

Online learning platforms have reshaped education, giving millions of people access to courses through services like Udemy, Coursera, and similar providers. Unfortunately, criminals have identified these spaces as new opportunities for abuse. The FBI warns that cybercriminals increasingly exploit trusted online environments to run scams, including blackmail and extortion. Digital classrooms can be appealing to bad actors because students often share personal details to participate and engage. This leads many people to ask: Can someone blackmail me through an online learning platform? The answer is yes. Online course sextortion and Udemy blackmail are growing threats that exploit trust and interaction in virtual classrooms, reflecting a wider pattern of trust-based online extortion.
