What if, one day, you suddenly became the target of an “internet terrorist”? Someone who can find you, no matter where you are, and make your life hell. Logging off? Is not an option. That’s what happened to Esther, Natasha and Ava. They all fell into the crosshairs of a dangerous online predator who had one mission; to control, harass and bully women and girls like them out of online gaming. A skilled hacker, he’d extort his victims. But his weapon of choice was swatting – calling in fake emergencies to get armed police to raid innocent people’s homes, terrifying them. He seemed unstoppable, until the young female streamers he targeted joined forces and fought back… and a determined country cop took up the case. Journalist Leigh Alexander investigates a story where digital danger bursts through the screen and into real life, that will leave you wondering if any of us are really safe… From serial killer nurses to psychic scammers – The Binge is your home for true crime stories that pull you in and never let go.
