Subject: DO NOT IGNORE THIS YOU HAVE 72HR ONLY
Goodday
I think you will not be happy, because I have a very bad news for you.
Just a few months ago I hacked your operating system and I have full
control of your device.
I implanted a small application into your device which sends me your
current IP address and allows me to connect to your device just like
remote desktop.
Even if you change your password, it won’t help.
How I infected you?
The router that you used to connect to Internet had a security hole.
You can read about this problem by searching for CVE-2018-10562.
I hacked your router and I put my code into it, and when you tried to
connect to Internet, my program infected your device.
Later I made a full copy of your hard drive (I have all your email
contact lists, list of websites you visited, phone numbers, your
passwords etc.)
A little while later, when I was searching your web browsing history I
was shocked by what I saw!! The sites for adults you are visiting…
you know what I mean…
I just want to say – your fantasies are shifted far away from the
normal course!…
For months I have been spying on you through your device camera..
especially when you visited those sites to have fun…Those videos
show clearly you having fun and the content for adults you were
watching.. this is pretty nasty and I would be very worried if I were
you.
I have secured 2 videos:
[email protected]_1557074047.mp4 (119.1 MB)
[email protected]_1555285697.mp4 (64.5 MB)
You can verify that the timestamps correspond to the moments you were
enjoying yourself…Now, because I do not like at all what I saw
(that’s pretty crazy and ugly) I ask you to send me a donation
through Bitcoin network. 2000 US dollars is a fair price (considering
your perversions).
If you want me to forget about the whole case, remove the files and
disable the nasty app that is spying you, send me the Bitcoin payment
within 72 hours. Yes, I give you 72 hours only.
Here is my wallet: 1HSWSUSmCVniFLtJeqGQL5SWfshGceSxoZ
============================== =========
Send exactly 0.291578 BTC to my address:
1HSWSUSmCVniFLtJeqGQL5SWfshGceSxoZ
(copy it and paste – it’s case sensitive)
============================== =========
0.291578 BTC = 3000 dollars
If you do not send me the Bitcoin, I promise you – I will send those 4
files with you enjoying yourself to all your contact lists, associates
and social network friends.
I still have access to your device and I know when you read this
message. When you opened it, time started ticking. You have 72 hours
only!
I am from Russia and nobody will help you if you report this email..
Before they find me your life will be ruined! If you do not cooperate
with me – I will release this ugly material immediately.
This is why I advise you – send me the Bitcoin and let’s forget
about the whole situation. I know you can afford it.
If you do not know how to send bitcoin
Step 1: Create an account on  <Suspicious hyperlink>
Step 2: Buy 0.291578 BITCOIN
Step 3: Send the amount on this BTC address:
1HSWSUSmCVniFLtJeqGQL5SWfshGceSxoZ
Step 4: Contact me on this email address [email protected]
with this subject: 012VIPERMARVO- RESTOREKEYPC4102934 After this
steps you will receive through email the key and a decrypt tutorial.
Here is another list where you can buy bitcoin:
<Suspicious hyperlink>
Here is my address again:
============================== =========
Send exactly:
0.291578 BTC
to my address: 1HSWSUSmCVniFLtJeqGQL5SWfshGceSxoZ
============================== =========
Remember to send the exact amount as above! This way I will know
it’s from you.
Do not be angry at me. This is just my job, and you are not the only
person I caught.
Be angry at your fantasies – if you didn’t visit those sites for
adults you would have no problem.. but now…
I am waiting for your bitcoin.
Remember, time is ticking..
