Extortion emails
If you have received a spam blackmailing email to say that your device has been compromised and the sender is demanding payment in bitcoin :
-This is a scam spam email. Do not respond.
-Please change your email password to something new and unique as a precaution
Even though this is a scam, if the email does include a password you are currently using on any other sites, we strongly suggest you change it immediately to something strong and unique. It is also best practice to use unique passwords for every site you visit. This ensures that if there is a data breach at a certain site, the attackers will only have access to that site, and not all of your accounts.
We also recommend that you report the scam to action fraud. Follow the steps outlined
here.
Example of email :
I am well aware ***** one of your pass words. Lets get right to the purpose. Nobody has paid me to investigate about you. You do not know me and you are most likely thinking why you are getting this e mail?
in fact, i actually placed a software on the adult streaming (porn material) website and do you know what, you visited this site to experience fun (you know what i mean). While you were watching video clips, your web browser started working as a RDP with a key logger which provided me access to your display screen and web cam. Just after that, my software program gathered all your contacts from your Messenger, social networks, and e-mail . Next i created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were viewing (you’ve got a good taste hahah), and second part shows the view of your cam, and its you.
You got two alternatives. Why dont we check out each one of these solutions in particulars:
1st solution is to disregard this message. Consequently, i am going to send your video to every single one of your contacts and then just think about the awkwardness you will get. Keep in mind if you are in a romance, exactly how it would affect?
Number 2 alternative will be to give me 7000 USD. i will regard it as a donation. as a consequence, i most certainly will right away erase your videotape. You could continue on your daily life like this never took place and you would never hear back again from me.
You will make the payment by Bitcoin (if you don’t know this, search ’how to buy bitcoin’ in Google).
BTC address:
if you may be planning on going to the law enforcement officials, very well, this mail cannot be traced back to me. I have taken care of my actions. i am just not trying to demand very much, i want to be compensated. You now have two days in order to make the payment. i have a special pixel in this e-mail, and right now i know that you have read through this e mail. if i do not get the BitCoins, i will definately send your video to all of your contacts including members of your family, coworkers, and so on. However, if i receive the payment, i’ll erase the recording right away. This is the nonnegotiable offer, that being said do not waste my personal time and yours by replying to this email. if you want to have proof, reply with Yeah then i will send your video recording to your 11 contacts.
