It is no secret that kidnap and extortion are very real and growing trends in today’s world, but what most people do not know that well is that the list of potential objectives is not as small as most people believe. Even when the most vulnerable individuals continue to be company employees that reside permanently abroad or that travel overseas often, and sometimes with their families, people and organizations that have high profiles, handle large amounts of cash, or work with sensitive information or technologies are equally at risk.

Although the threat of kidnap receives more news coverage, extortion is increasing substantially not only abroad, but also in the United States of America. Examples include: bodily injury extortion, property damage extortion, pollution extortion, cyber extortion and intellectual property extortion.
