A quarter of cyber-dependent crime, including revenge porn and the hacking of social media accounts, are precursors to domestic violence, according to research that has not yet been released by police in the UK’s cybercrime units.

At Cyber Security Connect UK in Monaco last month, Martin Peters, the detective chief inspector of the eastern region special operations unit (ERSOU ROCU), who leads the cyber and economic directorate, revealed how data that had been analysed had shown a significant link between these cyber-dependent crimes and domestic violence.
