The Public Ministry of Mato Grosso do Sul (MPMS) has launched Operation 'Cyber Trap' resulting in the arrest of a woman suspected of extorting a Justice Prosecutor. This operation took place in Paulista, Pernambuco, where the suspect allegedly created a fake social media profile to gain the trust of the prosecutor. By doing so, she was able to obtain intimate images from him under false pretenses.

After acquiring these images, the woman began to demand financial compensation to prevent the public dissemination of the photos. However, despite her threats, it was reported that the images were still made public without the consent of the victim. This case highlights significant concerns regarding privacy, cybersecurity, and the increasing phenomenon of online extortion, especially against public figures who may be more vulnerable to such attacks.

In response to the allegations, the court issued arrest and search warrants for the suspect. During the execution of these judicial orders, several mobile phones and a computer were confiscated from her residence. The seizure of these devices is crucial as they are expected to contain evidence that could further substantiate the charges against her, emphasizing the commitment of the authorities to tackle cybercrimes and protect the integrity of individuals, particularly those in public office.
