Hi there!
I am a professional hacker and have successfully managed to hack your device
Currently I have gained full access to your account.
In addition, I was secretly monitoring all your activities and watching you for several months. The thing is your device was infected with harmful spyware due to the fact that you had
visited a website with Porn content previously. (_0_1 Let me explain to you what that entails. Thanks to Trojan viruses, I can gain complete
access device that you own. It means that I can see absolutely everything in your screen and switch on the camera as
well as microphone at any point of time without your permission. In addition, I can also access and see your confidential information as well as your
emails and chat messages.
You may be wondering why your antivirus cannot detect my malicious software. Let me break it dowl for you: I am using harmful software that is driver-based, which
refreshes its signatures on a hourly basis. I have made a video compilation, which shows on the left side the scenes of you masturbating, while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment..^_^
All I need is just to share this video to all email addresses and phone contacts.
Furthermore, I can also make public all your emails and chat history.
I believe you would definitely want to avoid this from happening.
Here is what you need to do - transfer the bitcoins equivalent of $2450
to my bitcoin account (that is rather a simple process, which you can check out online in case if you
don't know how to do that). Or use a bitcoin AT You can also send half and extend timer by 24 hours. Below is my bitcoin account information (bitcoin wallet):
bolqmar4epyøkkzdjgh6ppwqdmgmwk@rrcfye4czwg Once the required amount is transferred to my account, I will proceed with deleting
all those videos and disappear from your life once and for all. Kindly ensure you complete the abovementioned transfer within 48 hours (2 days )- I will receive a notification right after you open this email, hence the countdown will start. Abstain from trying to reply this email (since the email is generated inside
your inbox alongside with return address).
Trust me, I am very careful, calculative and never make mistakes. If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will straight away proceed
with making your private videos public.
Good luck!

Was the email generated using your details as suggested?

No, and it came via an email address I very rarely use.

He's very calculative so I'd suggest you tread carefully and don't, for the love of god, share his message with anybody else.

Did it come from that email address, any of yours, or one you do not recognise?

I think you would know if a Trojan is running around your tech, I certainly did, if it's a random email address just ignore.

There's a good reason for that. rofl

Personally I'd be more concerned that your email spam filtering isn't working very well.

Yep, I had a spate of them a few years back - exactly the same wording IIRC.

I knew it was completely fake because the only computer I had at the time was a geriatric Dell PC which did not have a camera of any sort!

I ignored it and still have my bitcoins.

By all means do a scan with Malwarebytes but I'm sure it will find nothing. Your secret is safe!

I had one of those as well.
Several times.
I'm amazed he can see me through my camera when I have a post-it note stuck over it....

I received a very similar email saying he'd been checking my activities on this machine weeks ago.
PC was only 4 weeks old...

Get rid of the evidence and get a new laptop, it's the only way to rest easy.

A few times but not for a couple of years.

It just got swiftly acquainted with the delete bin & I got on with my day.
I don't have any bitcoins anyway.

Absolute chancing buffoonery. Black Mirror : Shut Up & Dance it most definitely it wasn't.

Martin Clunes on that drama about Huw Edwards was knocking one out on screen. Maybe he did not pay the ransom ?!

Had a few similar, the last a few days ago with links to how to get the bitcoin. Worryingly (a little) was he included an old password, spelled incorrectly.
Came from someone using a gmail account.
