This one cracked me up
Hello!
I have very bad news for you.
02/03/2020 - on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account xxx@yyySo, you can change the password, yes... But my malware intercepts it every time.
How I made it:
In the software of the router, through which you went online, was a vulnerability.
I just hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
When you went online, my trojan was installed on the OS of your device.After that, I made a full dump of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts).
A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a not big amount of btc to unlock.
But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and I was shocked by what I saw!!!
I'm talk you about sites for adults.I want to say - you are a BIG pervert. Your fantasy is shifted far away from the normal course!
And I got an idea....
I made a screenshot of the adult sites where did you enjoy (do you understand what it is about, huh?).
After that I took a screenshot with your masturbation (using the camera of your device) and glued them together.
Turned out amazing! You are so spectacular!I'm know that you would not like to show these screenshots to your friends, relatives or colleagues.
I think $1250(USD) is a very, very small amount for my silence.
Besides, I have been spying on you for so long, having spent a lot of time!Pay ONLY in Bitcoins!
My BTC wallet: bc1qlq7z2xy4LOLwd46lnsexq9fgqquuLOLLOL5txwYou do not know how to use bitcoins?
Enter a query in any search engine: "how to replenish btc wallet".
It's extremely easyFor this payment I give you two days (48 hours).
As soon as this letter is opened, the timer will work.After payment, my virus and dirty screenshots with your enjoys will be self-destruct automatically.
If I do not receive from you the specified amount, then your device will be locked, and all your contacts will receive a screenshots with your "enjoys".I hope you understand your situation.
- Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data, files and screenshots is already uploaded to a remote server)
- Do not try to contact me (this is not feasible, sender address is randomly generated)
- Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help, since your data is already on a remote server.P.S. You are not my single victim. so, I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment!
This is the word of honor hackerI also ask you to regularly update your antiviruses in the future. This way you will no longer fall into a similar situation.
Do not hold evil! I just do my job.
Have a nice day!
No exceptions.
I love this one. I also like the ones from Psychic Amanda.
all files
That would be a lot of unnoticed upload traffic.
(using the camera of your device)
Tape is cheap people. Removing the entire camera device is pretty easy too.
history of viewing sites
Browser's can be set to not save that. You should do that now. The world becomes a worse place when people choose convenience over privacy. Even if you don't feel you have anything worth hiding, if you normalize anti-privacy behaviors you entrench those values deeper into the culture and everyone is made less safe.
The entire email is written so broad as to include mobile/laptop/desktop devices using any OS. This makes it feel hard to believe.
I just hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
I recommend everyone to consider their router hostile anyways, it almost certainly has proprietary firmware (and closed source hardware) and was produced in a country that is required to submit to some level of dragnet surveillance and opening up back-doors for wiretapping targeted devices.
