ransomeware
I received and email from someone who hacked my email password and sent an email from my email address to myself. Here's a copy of the email.Your account is now hacked! Modify the password right now!
You do not know me me and you really are probably wondering why you are reading this message, is it right?
I'mhacker who crackedyour emailand systemnot so long ago.
Do not attempt to msg me or alternatively seek for me, it's impossible, since I forwarded you an email using YOUR account that I've hacked.
I installed spyware to the adult videos (porno) website and guess you have visited this site to have fun (you understand what I really mean).
Whilst you were watching these "great" vids, your internet browser began functioning as a RDP (Remote Control) that have a keylogger that provided me ability to access your monitor and webcam.
After that, my software programstoleall info.
You entered passcodes on the websites you visited, and I caught all of them.
Of course, you are able change them, or perhaps already modified them.
But it really does not matter, my spyware renews it every 5 minutes.
What I have done?
I got a reserve copy of every your system. Of all files and each contact.
I created a dual-screen videofile. The 1 part shows the video that you were watching (you've got a good preferences, wow...), and the second part demonstrates the recording from your own web camera.
What must you do?
Good, I think, 1000 USD will be a reasonable price for our small secret. You'll do the payment by bitcoins (if you don't understand this, search “how to purchase bitcoin” in any search engine).
My bitcoin wallet address:
1F3M8q3T7dc9gkBWDZTn1aYve7ZA23gAxX
(It is cAsE sensitive, so just copy and paste it).
Warning:
You have 48 hours to perform the payment. (I have an unique pixel to this e-mail, and right now I know that you've read this email).
To tracethe reading of a messageand the actionsinside it, I utilizea Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (Everything thatis appliedfor the authorities should helpus.)
In the event I fail to get bitcoins, I'll undoubtedly direct your videofile to all your contacts, along with relatives, colleagues, etcetera?
I then changed my password, but received 2 second email from him 2 days later.
My AVG security scan hasn't picked up anything suspicious.
How can I check if my computer is safe?
Thanks Deb
