The First Hour Checklist
For the hour when nobody can think straight.
The incident response checklist from Think Smarter About AI, for sextortion, scams, account theft and impersonation. Five ordered steps to work through when a young person has just told you something frightening.
What is on it
- Get safe — immediate physical safety comes before everything else
- Stop the contact — do not pay, negotiate, or send more
- Preserve what already exists — without forwarding or downloading harmful material
- Secure accounts and money, then report and arrange support
Who it is for: Any adult who may get that phone call. Taken from Think Smarter About AI.
