Received following message: I understand how damaging this will be for you, and amount is not that big for you to keep your privacy. Please dont blame me – we all have different ways of making a living. I have no intention of destroying your reputation or life, but only if I get paid. I don’t care about you personally, that's why you can be sure that all files I have and software on your device will be deleted immediately after I receive the transfer. I only care about getting paid. My modest consulting fee is 1650 US Dollars transferred in Bitcoin. Exchange rate at the time of the transfer. You need to send that amount to this wallet: 17z8ACS2tJouyxuoqEBoDDmaEZzFTzQg1Z The fee is non negotiable, to be transferred within 2 business days. We use Bitcoin to protect my identity. Obviously do not try to ask for any help from anybody unless you want your privacy to be violated. I will monitor your every move until I get paid. If you keep your end of the agreement, you wont hear from me ever again.

Blackmail scam

Abuser: Blackmail scam (RV: Important Updates)

I am sorry to inform you that your device was compromised. I'll explain what led to all of this. I have used a Zero Day vulnerability with a special code to infect your device through a website. This is a complicated software that requires precise skills that I have. It works as a chain with specially crafted and unique code and that’s why this type of an attack can go undetected. You only need one not patched vulnerability to be infected, and unfortunately for you – it works that simple. For you to clearly understand, my software controlled your camera and microphone as well and it was impossible for you to know about it. It was just about right timing for me to get you privacy violated. I’ve been waiting enough and have decided that it’s time to put an end to this. So here is my offer. I need a consulting fee to delete the media content I have been collecting. Your privacy stays untouched, if I get paid. Otherwise, I will leak the most damaging content to your contacts and post it to a public tube for perverts to explore. I understand how damaging this will be for you, and amount is not that big for you to keep your privacy. Please dont blame me – we all have different ways of making a living. I have no intention of destroying your reputation or life, but only if I get paid. I don’t care about you personally, that's why you can be sure that all files I have and software on your device will be deleted immediately after I receive the transfer.

Ransomware

Abuser: spooed email address

Blah blah, usual moronic drivel: I think you already know what is going to happen next. During that time, my software was quietly collecting information about your habits, websites that you visit, searches you do, texts you send. There is more to it, but I have listed a few reasons for you to understand how serious this is.
