Police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have urged families to take precautions when photographing and filming weddings, warning that the material could be misused for blackmail.
In a security advisory, police warned that private photographs and videos could be exploited on social media or used by cybercriminals to threaten and intimidate families.
Authorities said criminals could use manipulated images, videos and deepfake technology to create fabricated content and blackmail victims.
The warning comes as the winter wedding season gets underway across Pakistan, a period when families often take photographs and videos at ceremonies and other celebrations.
Police said blackmailers could threaten to publish private material online, causing severe emotional distress to those targeted.
The advisory urged families to protect their personal photographs and videos and exercise caution when arranging photo and video shoots at weddings.
