If you do not know how to do this - ask Google. 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.

Australia, 2018-11-11 01:52:50So far, I've received two of these today, each with a different so-called password for the same email account. The first message came from Mexico (IP 187.166.61.81) and the second came from Poland (IP 178.235.26.121). Anyone know how to stop this?
United States, 2018-11-11 02:21:20This Einstein claims to have used a vulnerability on “my” Cisco router (I never had one) to place a rootkit on my computer to hack my domain account last summer. As “proof” he uses a very old password (probably obtained from the Linkedin-leak some years ago) and he sends it from my own account (spoofed). Further more the usual garbage about having dirty pictures of me while watching porn. I’ve had several of this kind of blackmail e-mails before but this one adds the threat of formatting my harddrive if I dont pay USD 880 to mentioned bitcoin address. Loser.
