United States, 2019-03-06 05:58:28A partial transcription of the email I received from my own account >>I'm ahacker who burstyour email boxand digital devicesa few months ago. You should not try out to contact me or look for me, in fact it's not possible, because I forwarded you this message from YOUR own hacked account. Next step, my softaquiredall info. Great, in my view, 1000 USD will be a good amount of money for our small riddle. You'll do the payment by bitcoins My bitcoin wallet address: 19XZH6gwYRAjd1LjsPrjNWfhjTCQU4PD8p You have 48 hours to perform the payment. (I built in a unique pixel in this letter, and at this moment I understand that you have read this email). To monitorthe reading of a messageand the actionsin it, I usea Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (The stuff thatis appliedfor the authorities may also helpus.) In the event I fail to get bitcoins, I'll immediately send your video files to all your contacts, including family members, co-workers, etcetera?<< Message ends
