It’s a simple 10 numbers. But your phone number holds the key to more personal information than you might realize. That’s why when you sign up for an account on the popular video and messaging app Snapchat, a common question users have is, “Can people see my phone number on Snapchat?”

The good news is your number is not inherently visible to anyone on the platform. However, it’s important to stay alert and aware of the dangers of your phone number becoming visible on Snapchat and how to keep your personal information protected while using the social media app.

We live in an era where, unfortunately, it’s easier than ever to blackmail others. Make no mistake: discovering your most private, intimate photos or videos plastered across the internet is a gut-wrenching violation. The shock, the fear, and the shame can feel like your life is shattering.

For better or worse, you’re not alone in this. Thousands of people just like you experience this nightmare every single year. Yes, it’s that bad.

The cruel act of sharing intimate images without consent is known as “revenge porn,” or more accurately, non-consensual pornography. There are no two ways about it — it’s a crime, and it can be incredibly [...]

Your life feels like it’s over in a single click. That’s the reality when you’re targeted in an image-based scam or blackmail scheme. One day, you’re sharing a photo online; the next, your world crashes down around you. Threats, extortion, and utter ruin become your new reality.

We truly do live in a digital world, and as such, photos aren’t just mementos. They’re a scammer’s weapon of choice. They can take your photos — no matter how ordinary — and use them to steal your identity, empty your bank account, or even hold you hostage to fear.

Have you ever gotten an email so nasty it made you want to throw your phone out the window? One filled with threats, gross comments, or even demands for money? That’s not just a bad day online; that’s cyber harassment, and it’s way too common these days.

Any form of harassment is unacceptable, but online harassment can feel especially insidious due to the nature of not always knowing who’s behind it. Worse, cyber harassment often leads to emotional turmoil, like feelings of depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts.

Most of the time, the perpetrator believes they can get away with this type of harassment because they can’t be directly seen. But they’re [...]
