....... I don’t care about you personally, that's why you can be sure that all files I have and software on your device will be deleted immediately after I receive the transfer. I only care about getting paid. My modest consulting fee is 1650 US Dollars to be transferred in Bitcoin. Exchange rate at the time of the transfer. You need to send that amount to this wallet: 1EqsnpSgTN8iaeFJmJi4wEbyomQ8tTGQma The fee is non negotiable, to be transferred within 2 business days. Obviously do not try to ask for help from the law enforcement unless you want your privacy to be violated. I will monitor your every move until I get paid. If you keep your end of the agreement, you wont hear from me ever again. .........

I am sorry to inform you but your device was hacked. That's what happened. I have used a Zero Click vulnerability with a special code to hack your device through a website. A complicated software that requires precise skills that I posess. This exploit works in a chain with a specially crafted unique code and such type of an attack goes undetected. You only had to visit a website to be infected, and unfortunately for you it's that simple for me. You were not targeted, but just became one of the many unlucky people who got hacked through that webpage. All of this happened in August. So I’ve had enough time to collect the information. I think you already know what is going to happen next. For a couple of month my software was quietly collecting information about your habits, websites you visit, websearches, texts you send. There is more to it, but I have listed just a few reasons for you to understand how serious this is. To be clear, my software controlled your camera and microphone as well. It was just about right timing to get you privacy violated. I have made a few pornhub worthy videos with you as a lead actor.
