Bitdefender: The Blue Whale Challenge or Blue Whale Challenge

Blue Whale or Blue Whale Challenge: Recently, global attention has turned to a particularly serious case of online threats with victims of children and teenagers, which goes by the name of Blue Whale or Blue Whale Challenge. Unfortunately, Greece and Cyprus are already counting their own cases.

Reason being made for one "game", with participants mainly teenagers, which could be described as more macabre than entertaining. This fact, according to reports, confirms its very name, which is based on the habit of blue whales killing themselves in shallow water.Blue Whale Challenge

The moral perpetrator and creator of this dark "play" is an 23 Russian who did not hesitate to admit publicly that his goal was to clean the society from "bio-waste", meaning young participants of the "Blue Whale".

The terms of "play" are as follows:

For 50 days, each player receives an "activity" from the Blue Whale administrators, which they must complete and then send a or video as evidence. Activities include gruesome acts such as self-harm and suicide, which is the final "challenge" of the 50th day. In case the player wants to leave the "game", then the administrators prevent him with threats and blackmail.

Essentially, this is an online attack on children and adolescents who have problems with their social relationships or have deficient contacts with their parents, as well as children who suffer from bullying, insecurity, low self-confidence or depression.

Against this very serious case of "Blue Whale", and in order not to mourn other victims, it is up to the children, parents and teachers to be properly informed!
