Digital arrest: &#39;Crying and begging… YouTuber held in digital arrest for 40 hours—learn how to stay safe&#39;


<p><strong>Digital Arrest:</strong> Cybercriminals are employing increasingly sophisticated methods to target individuals, carrying out &#8220;digital arrests&#8221; to steal their hard-earned money in a matter of moments. Victims not only suffer financial losses but also endure significant mental distress.  </p>



<p>Recently, popular social media influencer Ankush Bahuguna fell victim to a cyber scam. Bahuguna recounted a shocking and distressing ordeal, detailing how he was held hostage by scammers for 40 hours.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sharing his ordeal on Instagram</h2>



<p>In a video posted on Instagram, Ankush Bahuguna, a content creator, described how he was subjected to a digital arrest, cut off from friends and family. He not only lost money but also suffered a significant impact on his mental health.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financial loss and traumatic harassment</h2>



<p>Influencer Ankush Bahuguna stated, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been absent from social media and everywhere else for the past three days because I was held hostage by some scammers.&#8221; He added that he is still somewhat in shock, having lost both money and his mental well-being. He finds it hard to believe that this happened to him.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A call that started a nightmare</h2>



<p>Popular social media influencer Ankush Bahuguna explained that his nightmare began with a call claiming a package was being delivered to him. Curiously, Bahuguna pressed &#8220;zero&#8221; for assistance, a decision he now admits was a grave mistake, leading him to a purported customer service representative. This representative informed him that a package containing illegal substances destined for China was linked to his name. The representative further informed him that an arrest warrant had already been issued and he would soon be arrested.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">All gadgets shut down</h2>



<p>The scammers kept him engaged in video calls for 40 hours, during which time they forced him to switch off all his gadgets. Furthermore, the fraudsters investigated every detail of his life, threatening arrest if he didn&#8217;t cooperate. During this time, he wept and begged for mercy. It was a terrifying experience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to stay safe</h2>



<p>In the digital age, with the rising number of cybercrimes and online fraud, protecting oneself is crucial. Digital platforms are often misused by criminals attempting to steal personal information, bank details, and identities. To stay safe, take the following precautions:</p>



<ul>
<li>Create strong passwords</li>



<li>Use two-factor authentication (2FA)</li>



<li>Avoid phishing emails and links</li>



<li>Exercise caution when using public Wi-Fi</li>



<li>Regularly update software</li>

Alert for the Most Severe Snowstorm in the US Since 2011, Danger Across 30 States


<p>A severe cold wave is sweeping across many parts of the world, causing widespread discomfort. Several countries are experiencing not only freezing temperatures but also blizzard conditions, adding to the hardship. The United States is already grappling with cold weather challenges, and now faces a significant threat: the National Weather Service has issued an alert for one of the most intense blizzards of the decade.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Threat to 30 States</h2>



<p>The National Weather Service (NWS) has stated that the blizzard, originating in the central part of the country, will move eastward over the next few days. Thirty states are under threat, prompting the issuance of alerts.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heavy Snowfall Predicted</h2>



<p>The impact of the blizzard is already being felt in several US states. The weather service predicts the heaviest snowfall in a decade, potentially leading to a significant temperature drop. This could be the most severe snowfall since 2011. Some areas of Indiana and Kansas could see at least 8 inches of snow. Hail and freezing rain are anticipated in parts of Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Virginia. Several cities, including Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia, will also experience disruptive snowfall.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">State of Emergency Declared</h2>



<p>Following the NWS alert, states of emergency have been declared in Kentucky, Virginia, Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri. The blizzard is also expected to cause temperature drops in states like Mississippi and Florida.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cause of the Weather Change</h2>



<p>The weather service attributes the change to the polar vortex, a cold air mass circulating the Arctic. January 2024 is predicted to be the coldest January in the US since 2011.</p>



<p>The NWS anticipates the impact of the low temperatures will be felt on the US East Coast, where the storm is expected to arrive soon. Around 68 million people in central America will experience significant disruption to their daily lives by Sunday, with extremely hazardous driving conditions. Motorists will face particularly challenging circumstances.</p>
