I'm a spyware software developer. Your account has been hacked by me in the summer of this year. 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 of your router (Cisco router, vulnerability CVE-2018-0296). (I have never owned a router of this brand.)

My system automatically recognizes the translation. As soon as the specified amount is received, all your data will be destroyed from my server, and the rootkit will be automatically removed from your system. Do not worry, I really will delete everything, since I am 'working' with many people who have fallen into your position. You will only have to inform your provider about the vulnerabilities in the router so that other hackers will not use it. Since opening this letter you have 48 hours (2 days). If funds not will be received, after the specified time has elapsed, the disk of your device will be formatted, and from my server will automatically send email and sms to all your contacts with link on compromising material.

They said they have my information, and to "prove it" they provided an old, leaked password that I have not used in over four years. They claim they will send pictures, incriminating information, etc., to all my contacts, and will even erase my hard drive with a rootkit. Not my first rodeo. What a bunch of idiots.

At the moment, I have harvested a solid dirt... on you... I saved all your email and chats from your messangers. I also saved the entire history of the sites you visit. I know what you like hard funs (adult sites). Oh, yes .. I'm know your secret life, which you are hiding from everyone. Oh my God, what are your like... I saw THIS ... Oh, you dirty naughty person ... :) I took photos and videos of your most passionate funs with adult content, and synchronized them in real time with the image of your camera. Believe it turned out very high quality! So, to the business! I'm sure you don't want to show these files and visiting history to all your contacts.

I'm slightly disappointed that my searches for "do all boys want to be girls?," and "Im not transgender even though I want to be a girl, right?" won't actually be sent to my contacts, it would've taken away the hard part of coming out to the people I know!
