Tech Abuse Targets Women in Scotland

Tech is turning into a weapon against women in Scotland, with digital abuse skyrocketing—over 123,000 violent tech-related offenses last year, up 200% in six years. Abusers are hijacking phones, doorbells, gaming consoles, and streaming apps to stalk and control victims—even after relationships end. Kids are being targeted too, manipulated by estranged parents through gaming platforms. Survivors feel unsafe everywhere, even after leaving an abuser. Security measures are falling short as phones get cloned and hidden apps leak data. Police urge strong passwords, multi-factor auth, and don’t delete evidence if you suspect compromise—get help fast.
