United Kingdom, 2018-10-10 11:44:05"It seems that, *******, is your password. You may not know me and you are probably wondering why you are getting this e-mail, right? actually, I setup a malware on the adult vids (porno) web-site and guess what, ..." First, I don't watch porn on the internet. So the explanation in the email, that attack happened while I'm visiting a porn site is a false lead. Second, it seems that that the attack was carried out over my android phone. In the blackmail he states that "If you need evidence, reply with “Yes!” and I will certainly send out your video recording to your _N_ contacts." where _N_ is the exact number of contacts I have on this phone. This number of contacts is unusually low(like 3) because this phone is used for development only. It is evidence that the attacker actually had some access to my contacts on the phone.

France, 2018-10-20 18:36:29You may not know me and you are probably wondering why you are getting this e-mail, right? actually, I setup a malware on the adult vids (porno) web-site and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out functioning as a RDP (Remote Desktop) having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and web cam. after that, my software program obtained all of your contacts from your Messenger, FB, as well as email. I backuped phone. All photo, video and contacts. I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching, and 2nd part shows the recording of your web cam. Exactly what should you do? Well, in my opinion, $500 is a fair price for our little secret. You’ll make the payment by Bitcoin. Important: You have one day in order to make a payment. (I have a unique pixel in this e-mail, and at this moment I know that you have read through this email message).
