3. Preserve Any Evidence (If Safe to Do So)
Do not download or share the material further.
Take screenshots of URLs, timestamps, and any identifying information.
Keep the original file (or a copy) in a secure location, as it may be needed for investigation.
Write down how you discovered the content (e.g., which website, app, message, etc.).
