Hello!

I am a hacker who has access to your operating system.
I also have full access to your account.

I've been watching you for a few months now.
The fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited.

If you are not familiar with this, I will explain.
Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device.
This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it.

I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence.

Why your antivirus did not detect malware?
Answer: My malware uses the driver, I update its signatures every 4 hours so that your antivirus is silent.

I made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and in the right half you see the video that you watched.
With one click of the mouse, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on social networks.
I can also post access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

If you want to prevent this,
transfer the amount of $500 to my bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, write to Google: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 15gyQqNaV7n6befX6gTvn1LHR8GQBPUc2A

After receiving the payment, I will delete the video and you will never hear me again.
I give you 50 hours (more than 2 days) to pay.
I have a notice reading this letter, and the timer will work when you see this letter.

Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my bitcoin address.
I do not make any mistakes.

If I find that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will be immediately distributed.

Best regards!

Hello!

I have very bad news for you.
21/07/2019 – on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account nigel@brendinghat.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 $836 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: 1QKG5uTDq1GU8iNYqycitEL9dv9dctoQsV

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 impossible, sender’s address was randomly generated)
– 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!

DARKNET You have 48 hours

Subject: You have 48 hours!!!


Hello!

My nickname in darknet is chrisy22.

I hacked this mailbox more than six months ago,

through it I infected your operating system with a virus (trojan)
created by me and have been monitoring you for a long time.

So, your password from%0%is xxxxxxx known by me alone

Even if you changed the password after that – it does not matter, my
virus intercepted all the caching data on your computer

and automatically saved access for me.

I have access to all your accounts, social networks, email, browsing
history.

Accordingly, I have the data of all your contacts, files from your
computer, photos and videos.

I was most struck by the intimate content sites that you occasionally
visit.

You have a very wild imagination, I tell you!

During your pastime and entertainment there, I took screenshot
through the camera of your device, synchronizing with what you are
watching.

Oh my god! You are so funny and excited!

I think that you do not want all your contacts to get these files,
right?

If you are of the same opinion, then I think that $838 is quite a
fair price to destroy the dirt I created.

Send the above amount on my BTC wallet
(bitcoin): 1BqDEC1FGoePLCPVsVMK2bKFUkpbZ6euV2

As soon as the above amount is received, I guarantee that the data
will be deleted, I do not need it.

Otherwise, these files and history of visiting sites will get all
your contacts from your device.

Also, I'll send to everyone your contact access to your email and
access logs, I have carefully saved it!

Since reading this letter you have 48 hours!

After your reading this message, I'll receive an automatic
notification that you have seen the letter.

I hope I taught you a good lesson.

Do not be so nonchalant, please visit only to proven resources, and
don't enter your passwords anywhere!

Good luck!

Technical Analysis


This one was being sneaky! Noting dodgy within the Email. The PDF scans clean for viruses, but open the PDF, and there is a tempting link to click on. You can see it in the image above – note that our image is not clickable. With an Email, you are able to hover above a link and see where it is going. The PDF is not like that by default.

In this case, I was able to interrogate the link, and it shoots off to a website for a bakery. It is unusual to find a bakery hosting web pages on behalf of a bank, so my suspicions were aroused! The reality is that the bakery would have been hacked, and a rogue webpage created to either collect data or plant trojans.
