In the wake of the tragic murder of TikToker Sana Yousaf, the National CERT (Cyber Emergency Response Team) has released an urgent advisory for digital creators, including TikTokers, vloggers, influencers, and bloggers. The advisory strongly urges them to prioritize safeguarding both their online and real-life presence.
The advisory cautions that sharing personal identity and opinions online can expose creators to potential threats, both in the digital realm and in their physical environment. It emphasizes the importance for content creators to maintain a safe, positive, and responsible digital footprint.
The National CERT highlighted that securing personal and digital safety is paramount in the contemporary interconnected world, particularly for individuals who hold public-facing roles.
This advisory has been issued amidst growing concerns regarding the safety of content creators in Pakistan, especially women, as the digital landscape continues to become increasingly volatile.
