Another new email scam. Nothing exciting, just claims of trojans and filming the victim etc, no passwords even this time. Regardless I'm reporting it here just in case since I saw nothing attached yet to the address I was sent. Slightly redacted Email contents are as follows: Let’s settle it this way: You transfer $1412 USD to me (in bitcoin equivalent according to the exchange rate at the moment of funds transfer), and once the transfer is received, I will delete all this dirty stuff right away. After that we will forget about each other. I also promise to deactivate and delete all the harmful software from your devices. Trust me, I keep my word. This is a fair deal and the price is quite low, considering that I have been checking out your profile and traffic for some time by now. In case, if you don’t know how to purchase and transfer the bitcoins – you can use any modern search engine. Here is my bitcoin wallet: 18gi6L2coL8oU3v7BT9s7sex1MSepMS4dF You have less than 48 hours from the moment you opened this email (precisely 2 days). Things you need to avoid from doing: *Do not reply me (I have created this email inside your inbox and generated the return address). *Do not try to contact police and other security services. In addition, forget about telling this to you friends. If I discover that (as you can see, it is really not so hard, considering that I control all your systems) – your video will be shared to public right away. *Don’t try to find me – it is absolutely pointless. All the cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous. *Don’t try to reinstall the OS on your devices or throw them away. It is pointless as well, since all the videos have already been saved at remote servers.

Basically claimed to have gained control over my device throu the e-mail account, including camera, microphone, keystrokes and files. Then procedes to threaten me with divulging videos of me masturbating to a porn site unless I transfer $1412 USD in bitcoin equivalent. Also, english is not even my main language, and the hacker clearly used google translate. Was it even remotely real, they could have translated directly to spanish.

Claims to have installed trojan on my computer and wants me to pay bitcoin. As per original mail: You transfer $1412 USD to me (in bitcoin equivalent according to the exchange rate at the moment of funds transfer), and once the transfer is received, I will delete all this dirty stuff right away. After that we will forget about each other. I also promise to deactivate and delete all the harmful software from your devices. Trust me, I keep my word.

You may not know me, and you are probably wondering why you are getting this email. I'm a Hacker who cracked your devices. I set up malware on the adult video (ᴾᴼᴿᴺ) website, and guess what? You visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). While you watched videos, your internet browser started out functioning as an "HRDP" – Hidden Remote Desktop Protocol having a keylogger that gave me accessibility to your screen and webcam. After that, my software program obtained all your contacts and files. You entered a password on the websites you visited, and I intercepted it. Of course, you can change it or already changed it. But it doesn't matter; my malware updated it every time. What did I do? I generated a backup of your every system (private document files, video, photos, all files). I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you've got good taste, haha . . .), and 2nd part shows the recording of your webcam. Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data already uploaded to a remote server) Do not try to contact me or Various security services. They will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help since your data is already on a remote server. I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment, as you are not my single victim. It's a hacker code of honor. Please don't be mad at me. Everyone has their work. Precisely what should you do? Well, in my opinion, $ 1412 (USD) Dollars is a fair price for our little secret. You'll make the payment by Bitcoin (search "Bitcoin Wallet" in App Store or Play Store then Download & Install) and make a deposit to your wallet. After that, send or transfer to my wallet. My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet address: ???? 18gi6L2coL8oU3v7BT9s7sex1MSepMS4dF ???? (It is case sensitive, Bitcoin wallet address Beginning with 1 and Ending with F)
