Claimed to have hacked my OS, accessed my address book, history and all data and has backed up my disk to a remote server. Claims to have evidence I frequent adult sites and that I'm a "BIG pervert". Threatens to release screen shots of my "joys" to my friends, relatives or colleagues if I don't pay $760 in ransom by bitcoin.
Me too, twice. Same content as described by others. However, the first email stated what was then the password. That has me a bit unnerved.
As everyone else. Wanted $$ claimed a low level trojan would lock my pc
I have very bad news for you. 09/08/2018 - on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account So, 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.
Email came from my address. I made a screenshot of the adult sites where you have fun (do you understand what it is about, huh?). After that, I made a screenshot of your joys (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 $706 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: 182PJESsEWbuJ8PEgfM58p64jbok3i1gNU
spoofed email address - same as the other reports - blackmail scam
