Subject: Your operating system has been hacked by cyber-criminals...23/03/2020
Hello!
I'm a programmer who cracked your email account and device about half a year ago.
You entered a password on one of the insecure sites you visited, and I caught it.
Of course, you can change your password, or already made it.But it doesn't matter, my rat software update it every time.
Please don't try to contact me or find me, it is impossible since I sent you an email from your email account.
Through your e-mail, I uploaded malicious code to your Operation System.
I saved all of your contacts with friends, colleagues, relatives and a complete history of visits to the Internet resources.
Also, I installed a rat software on your device and long tome spying for you.
You are not my only victim, I usually lock devices and ask for a ransom.But I was struck by the sites of intimate content that you very often visit.
I am in shock of your reach fantasies! Wow! I've never seen anything like this!
I did not even know that SUCH content could be so exciting!
So, when you had fun on those sites (you know what I mean!)
I made a screenshot using my program from your camera of your device.After that, I jointed them to the content of the currently viewed site.
It will be funny if I send these photos to your contacts! And if your relatives see it?
BUT I'm sure you don't want it. I definitely would not want to …
I will not do this if you pay me a little amount. I think $1,500 is a nice price for it!
I accept only Bitcoins.
My BTC wallet: 3HNKUTtBK9aJH7CxgiXh2pas9i6V8nB2iy
If you have difficulty with this – Ask Google "how to make a payment on a bitcoin wallet". It's easy.
After receiving the above amount, all your data will be immediately removed automatically.
My virus will also destroy itself from your operating system.
My Trojan has auto alert after this email is viewed, I will be aware.
You have 2 days (48 hours) to make the payment. If this does not happen – all your contacts will get crazy shots with your dirty life!
And so that you do not obstruct me, your device will be locked (also after 48 hours)
Do not take this frivolously! This is the last warning!
Various security services or antiviruses won't help you for sure (I have already collected all your data).
Here are the recommendations of a professional: Antiviruses do not help against modern malicious code. Just do not enter your passwords on unsafe sites!
I hope you will be prudent.
Bye.
