Be warned, there’s a phishing email around with above title in the subject and often with the following content:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hello!<\/p>\n
I’m a programmer who cracked your email account and device about half year ago.
\nYou entered a password on one of the insecure site you visited, and I catched it.<\/p>\nOf course you can will change your password, or already made it.
\nBut it doesn’t matter, my rat software update it every time.<\/p>\nPlease don’t try to contact me or find me, it is impossible, since I sent you an email from your email account.<\/p>\n
Through your e-mail, I uploaded malicious code to your Operation System.
\nI saved all of your contacts with friends, colleagues, relatives and a complete history of visits to the Internet resources.
\nAlso I installed a rat software on your device and long tome spying for you.<\/p>\nYou are not my only victim, I usually lock devices and ask for a ransom.
\nBut I was struck by the sites of intimate content that you very often visit.<\/p>\nI am in shock of your reach fantasies! Wow! I’ve never seen anything like this!
\nI did not even know that SUCH content could be so exciting!<\/p>\nSo, when you had fun on intime sites (you know what I mean!)
\nI made screenshot with using my program from your camera of yours device.
\nAfter that, I jointed them to the content of the currently viewed site.<\/p>\nWill be funny when I send these photos to your contacts! And if your relatives see it?
\nBUT I’m sure you don’t want it. I definitely would not want to …<\/p>\nI will not do this if you pay me a little amount.
\nI think $853 is a nice price for it!<\/p>\nI accept only Bitcoins.
\nMy BTC wallet: 1M2D1PzyyiZBrSh8qcdts5kecQAX3S9xuF<\/p>\nIf you have difficulty with this – Ask Google “how to make a payment on a bitcoin wallet”. It’s easy.
\nAfter receiving the above amount, all your data will be immediately removed automatically.
\nMy virus will also will be destroy itself from your operating system.<\/p>\nMy Trojan have auto alert, after this email is looked, I will be know it!<\/p>\n
You have 2 days (48 hours) for make a payment.
\nIf this does not happen – all your contacts will get crazy shots with your dirty life!
\nAnd so that you do not obstruct me, your device will be locked (also after 48 hours)<\/p>\nDo not take this frivolously! This is the last warning!
\nVarious security services or antiviruses won’t help you for sure (I have already collected all your data).<\/p>\nHere are the recommendations of a professional:
\nAntiviruses do not help against modern malicious code. Just do not enter your passwords on unsafe sites!<\/p>\nI hope you will be prudent.
\nBye.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nWhile this is widely regarded as a phishing attempt, it may be a good time to consider changing your passwords for your email accounts and other online service accounts.
\nSwitching to a multi-factor authentication (MFA) where possible and feasible is also recommended.
\nThe trait-off is, as so often, between convenience and security.<\/p>\n
