“Hello!
I have very bad news for you.
21/10/2018 – on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account me@kelseybacon.com
So, you can change the password, yes… But my malware intercepts it every time.
How I made it:
In the software of the router, through which you went online, was a vulnerability.
I just hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
When you went online, my trojan was installed on the OS of your device.
After that, I made a full dump of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts).
A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a not big amount of btc to unlock.
But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and I was shocked by what I saw!!!
I’m talk you about sites for adults.
I want to say – you are a BIG pervert. Your fantasy is shifted far away from the normal course!
And I got an idea….
I made a screenshot of the adult sites where you have fun (do you understand what it is about, huh?).
After that, I made a screenshot of your joys (using the camera of your device) and glued them together.
Turned out amazing! You are so spectacular!
I’m know that you would not like to show these screenshots to your friends, relatives or colleagues.
I think $759 is a very, very small amount for my silence.
Besides, I have been spying on you for so long, having spent a lot of time!
Pay ONLY in Bitcoins!
My BTC wallet: 1H1K8MfLEJgjCCfDEkTJmv9GJjD3XzEFGR
You do not know how to use bitcoins?
Enter a query in any search engine: “how to replenish btc wallet”.
It’s extremely easy
For this payment I give you two days (48 hours).
As soon as this letter is opened, the timer will work.
After payment, my virus and dirty screenshots with your enjoys will be self-destruct automatically.
If I do not receive from you the specified amount, then your device will be locked, and all your contacts will receive a screenshots with your “enjoys”.
I hope you understand your situation.
– Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data, files and screenshots is already uploaded to a remote server)
– Do not try to contact me (this is not feasible, I sent you an email from your account)
– Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help, since your data is already on a remote server.
P.S. You are not my single victim. so, I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment!
This is the word of honor hacker
I also ask you to regularly update your antiviruses in the future. This way you will no longer fall into a similar situation.
Do not hold evil! I just do my job.
Have a nice day!”
I guess I am pretty boring at my age. When I was in my twenties this might have freaked me out. But now, I am a long way off from being the guy who is going to read this and think it was about me. Since Net Neutrality was abolished, and since Trump pushed for companies to be able to buy our search terms, I have been extra careful about even what I search for online as every search I do is a violation of my privacy. In other words, this e-mail has not got a leg to stand on. I am sad to report, yes, I am that boring.
This is very dramatic, but has no basis in reality. If you get one of these mails, don’t do anything but delete it. Nothing will happen except that you will have deleted an e-mail. Then move on with your life. I wish I could extract sweet revenge on the person who sends this kind of crap out, but it is not my place to decide and deliver judgements on people who are obviously sick for taking money, and sick for suggesting they like to invade your privacy, and sick for suggesting that they have the want to extort money from people for engaging in activity that probably just makes them human, and sick for watching it, then calling them perverts for supposedly doing the same. Obviously, if anyone should be having money taken from them, it is the person who sends this email. Since it is not my place to exact punishment, the best thing I can do is warn others not to fall for it. I have been getting them once or twice a week for four months, and so far, nobody I know has invited me over for dinner, or called to tell me that I am famous.
