Stanotte ho ricevuto questa e-mail:

******** one of your passphrase. Lets get directly to point. Nobody has paid me to check you. You don’t know me and you are most likely thinking why you’re getting this email?

Well, I installed a software on the 18+ videos (porno) site and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). When you were viewing videos, your web browser started functioning as a RDP that has a keylogger which gave me access to your screen and also web camera. after that, my software program collected your entire contacts from your Messenger, social networks, as well as email . Next I made a double video. First part displays the video you were viewing (you’ve got a good taste lol . . .), and second part displays the recording of your web camera, yea its you.

You have got two different alternatives. Shall we look at each one of these solutions in particulars:

First choice is to just ignore this email message. As a result, I most certainly will send your videotape to almost all of your personal contacts and then imagine regarding the shame you feel. And consequently if you happen to be in an important relationship, precisely how it will eventually affect?

Number two option will be to give me $1000. Let us call it a donation. As a result, I most certainly will promptly discard your videotape. You will carry on your way of life like this never happened and you surely will never hear back again from me.

You’ll make the payment through Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search “how to buy bitcoin” in Google search engine).

BTC Address to send to: RIMOSSO

If you are making plans for going to the authorities, okay, this e mail cannot be traced back to me. I have covered my moves. I am just not trying to ask you for money a whole lot, I just want to be compensated. I’ve a specific pixel within this email, and now I know that you have read this e-mail. You have one day in order to make the payment. If I do not receive the BitCoins, I will definately send out your video to all of your contacts including friends and family, co-workers, and many others. Having said that, if I receive the payment, I will erase the video right away. If you need proof, reply with Yes then I will send out your video recording to your 8 friends. It is a non:negotiable offer, so do not waste my time & yours by replying to this e-mail.

Sintetizzando, si tratta di un tentativo di estorsione (sextorsion scam) in Bitcoin (mille dollari), per certi versi ingegnoso perché inizia con una password che ho realmente utilizzato in passato. Come l’hanno avuta?

Semplice: fa parte di uno dei tanti data breach che hanno colpito siti e servizi online che non sono riusciti a proteggere adeguatamente i dati. Se volete sapere se siete stati potenzialmente esposti c’è un sito che ve lo dice con dovizia di particolari.

I lamer millantano di avere registrato un filmato mentre guardavo un video porno (Quindi? È un genere che peraltro apprezzo notoriamente! :P), di avere fatto incetta di miei dati tramite un keylogger, di stare tracciando l’apertura dell’e-mail tramite un pixel (che neanche c’è). Poi minacciano di mandare tutto ai miei contatti. E chiedono soldi.

Otterranno soltanto una risata (di scherno). Ovviamente cambiate spesso le password, non lo si dice mai abbastanza.
