United States, 2018-12-06 19:26:03Being blackmailed by this person
United States, 2018-12-06 19:26:03GUYS - NOT TO WORRY! YOU HAVE NOT BEEN "HACKED"! This guy know's a thing or two - but NOT how to actually hack your router or your e-mail and do the shit he describes in his asshole email! He might have learned how to generate random e-mail adresses (using his "Aaron Smith"-alias), or use a SMTP-fake to make it look like it came from "you". He might also know how to use a VPN so he always sends his emails from a new IP (look at the comments where people posted the e-mail header, mine came from Pakistan), but that's ALL it is. Congratulations - you know how to install Kali Linux and see some YouTube-videos! Good job, jackass! (someone's been watching too much Mr. Robot) The CVE-code he's referering too (CVE-2018-0296), doesn't even apply to home routers. Guys, it's all fake and just some noob who's trying too hard.

United States, 2018-12-06 22:40:19Fraud: stupid spammer pretending to be a hacker. The E-Mail seems to be sent from your account, but this is spoofed. Uses several Bitcoin wallets.

United States, 2018-12-07 05:21:40Spoofing email received with really bad content, Please block this urgently.
India, 2018-12-07 06:55:24The email asked for $918 to be sent to the Bitcoin cryptocurrency wallet: 1A4ffsLWPYC8n7Dq4s4aiY5mzG4szuHx3M. The email starts with: I am a spyware software developer. Your account has been hacked by me in the summer of 2018. I understand that it is hard to believe, but here is my evidence (I sent you this email from your account). The hacking was carried out using a hardware vulnerability through which you went online (Cisco router, vulnerability CVE-2018-0296). The email appears to be a hoax/Trojan horse (which was caught/stopped by my anti-virus software) and I do not appear to be infected or compromised. Reporting this so others may now that it is bullshit and not to fall for it.

United States, 2018-12-07 17:38:31I am a spyware software developer. Your account has been hacked by me in the summer of 2018. I understand that it is hard to believe, but here is my evidence (I sent you this email from your account). The hacking was carried out using a hardware vulnerability through which you went online (Cisco router, vulnerability CVE-2018-0296). I went around the security system in the router, installed an exploit there. When you went online, my exploit downloaded my malicious code (rootkit) to your device. This is driver software, I constantly updated it, so your antivirus is silent all time.
United States, 2018-12-07 17:42:27Sent an email demanding money saying he hacked my computer.
United States, 2018-12-07 18:40:56Same stupid extortion nonsense as the rest of them: "Hello, I am a spyware software developer. Your account has been hacked by me in the summer of 2018." This was sent to my company info acct to my company info acct
