"If you misrepresent your sexual curiosity and urge, you will be disgraceful."

This lesson has also been applied in the cyber world. In the online environment, such as PCs and smartphones and there is a high possibility of enjoying adult contents or services, hacking, leaking personal information, and risking personal injury.

According to a recent report by Kaspersky Lab, "Cyber Threats to Adult Website and Application Users", approximately 1.2 million Android smartphone users worldwide were infected with malicious code while watching adult content last year. This is equivalent to one-fifth (25.4%) of the total number of malicious code infections for Android in the past year.

Meanwhile, last year, about 50,000 of the 300,000 PCs accessed malicious phishing adult sites were exposed to hacking. Accessing these sites will lead to installation of malicious code through the Adobe Flash Player update window. Particularly, it is widely used to input personal information through a phishing dating service page. Kaspersky Lab said, "Phishing and hacking through adult content and services have been around for years and can be easily detected, "It is still a useful attack method for hackers," he said. "This type of victims, even if they are victimized, most of them are not willing to report or report outside."

In Korea, where websites and torrent services are activated and adult sites are not activated compared to overseas, harmful cases of `toxic phishing` have been constantly reported. In the course of receiving sexually explicit images through online chatting and smartphone apps, hackers are pretending to be condition-contacting women, and malicious programs are installed on the other computer and smartphone to steal information secretly. In particular, it records money of male impurity act and demand money, and when it does not respond, it writes the method which threatens to transmit the image to the acquaintance registered in the victim phone book. According to the police, the number of victims is estimated to be more than the actual number of victims who are not caught in the statistics of thousands of victims per year.

In fact, according to the cyber security association, which is a nonprofit group, 6,000 personal information have been leaked due to the damage of mocam phishing by former and current military officials including the army general. The Ministry of National Defense (MND) has been conducting investigations since the second day after obtaining data from the Cyber Security Association.

Kaspersky Lab to prevent phishing and hacking through adult content or services said, "You should never buy a hacked account from an adult site via Dark Web." Avoiding site addresses and application installation or use of unknown sources and the solution must be installed."
