Attack can go undetected. Only need one not patched vulnerability to be infected. You were not targeted specifically. Many people who got hacked that day. Happened months ago. My software quietly collected information, websites that you visit, searches & Texts, controlled camera & microphone BOTH ARE BLOCKED It was just about right timing for me to get you privacy violated. Waited long enough to violate your privacy Need a consulting fee to delete content I collected Your privacy stays untouched, if I get paid. Will lesak your privacy if I do not get paid 1650 US Dollars transferred in Bitcoin You need to send that amount to this wallet: 1nJCE7GPLEgKVtoDB2vNKxivw3U6ogMeS Fee is non negotiable, transfer within 2 business days. Bitcoin used to protect my identity. Don't try to ask for any help.

United States, 2021-07-30 01:35:05My buddy got a email saying they have info on me and I have to pay 1650 USD in BTC or they will share my info.
United States, 2021-07-30 03:05:32Sent a blackmail scam email demanding payment of $US1650 to my business address. We have security systems in place to detect any intrusion because our business chases scammers and spammers, and know that this lamer was unsuccessful. What an idiot to attack our address. This person stated that he used Bitcoin "To protect identity" - what a laugh ! For professionals investigating this person there are clear links to an earlier blackmail scam that goes back to a similar geographical location.

United States, 2021-07-30 11:49:09All of this happened a few month ago. So I’ve had time to collect information on you. I think you already know what is going to happen next. During that time, my software was quietly collecting information about your habits, websites that you visit, searches you do, texts you send. There is more to it, but I have listed a few reasons for you to understand how serious this is. For you to clearly understand, my software controlled your camera and microphone as well and it was impossible for you to know about it. It was just about right timing for me to get you privacy violated. I’ve been waiting enough and have decided that it’s time to put an end to this. So here is my offer. I need a consulting fee to delete the media content I have been collecting. Your privacy stays untouched, if I get paid. Otherwise, I will leak the most damaging content to your contacts and post it to a public tube for perverts to explore. I understand how damaging this will be for you, and amount is not that big for you to keep your privacy. Please dont blame me – we all have different ways of making a living. I have no intention of destroying your reputation or life, but only if I get paid. 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 transferred in Bitcoin. Exchange rate at the time of the transfer. You need to send that amount to this wallet: 1nJCE7GPLEgKVtoDB2vNKxivw3U6ogMeS The fee is non negotiable, to be transferred within 2 business days.
Ukraine, 2021-07-30 13:22:01Typical Blackmailer/Sextortion, like the previous 99 reports claim. Scammer likely doesn't actually have any info on you, is just trying to make money. Sadly, someone paid. 100+ reports in less than a week since the wallet first went live shows that the scammer is using a "shotgun" technique hoping someone will pay. My email came from a computer (IP address 185.104.255.82) that seems to be located in Lebanon, according to the whois database. If someone was interested in making a few bucks off of an international scammer, they could start monitoring the computer attached to that IP and then trace back to the scammer, steal the scammer's bitcoin wallet and cash out. An experienced cracker could likely make a g or 2 within a few days work.

United States, 2021-07-30 19:14:37Same old, same old. Scammer claiming to have recorded webcam and mic - though why anyone would even feel threatened by that unless they do dumb stuff is another question, lol. Either way, super obvious - sad that at least one person actually paid!!
