Bitcoin extortion

[LegalBriefs]

Hello!

I'm the Chinese software engineer who hacked into your device OS.

I've been watching you for month now. The thing is, you've been infected with malware through the adult website you visited... I have downloaded all confidential information from your system and I got some more evidence.

In case you're not familiar with it, I'll explain.

The virus gives me full access and control over your computer or any other device on your network. It means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera and microphone, but you don't know about it. I also have access to all of your phone and email contacts, as well as access to your social media accounts.

Why didn't your antivirus detect any malware?

Answer: My malware uses a low-level device driver build-in your CPU and I update its signatures every 4 hours to keep your antivirus silent. I made a screen recording of you masturbating.

On one side of the screen is the video you're watching at the moment and on the other side is your satisfied face. With one click, I can send this video to all your contacts.

Do you want to prevent it?

I understand your concern. Especially since the video was quite vulgar, I can't imagine the embarrassment you will feel when your colleagues, friends and relatives see it.

If you need to erase all of your collected data just send 0.015 btc (Bitcoin) to a wallet that was specially generated for your email address.

1KD9E22qqq6oJHGP7N6nrgdn9GiJ4nXzJj
Yes, it's that simple! My script will detect the transaction to the wallet and will automatically delete all the dirt that was collected on you.

I will give you 48 hours to pay.

Do not try to reply to this email, it makes absolutely no sense (the sender's email address as well as the Bitcoin wallet were generated automatically especially for you and cannot be traced). I don't make mistakes.

If I see that you've shared this message with someone else (for example, it will be open on a different device than yours), the video will instantly start being sent out to your contact list.

Take it easy. Take it as a little life lesson and be more careful in the future.

Good luck with that. Bye.

Hey!

Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you.
Several months ago, I got access to the device you are using to browse the internet.
Since that time, I have been monitoring your internet activity.

Being a regular visitor of adult websites, I can confirm that it is you who is responsible for this.
To keep it simple, the websites you visited provided me with access to your data.

I've uploaded a Trojan horse on the driver basis that updates its signature several times per day, to make it impossible for antivirus to detect it. Additionally, it gives me access to your camera and microphone.
Moreover, I have backed-up all the data, including photos, social media, chats and contacts.

Just recently, I came up with an awesome idea to create the video where you cum in one part of the screen, while the video was simultaneously playing on another screen. That was fun!

Rest assured that I can easily send this video to all your contacts with a few clicks, and I assume that you would like to prevent this scenario.

With that in mind, here is my proposal:
Transfer the amount equivalent to 1590 USD to my Bitcoin wallet, and I will forget about the entire thing. I will also delete all data and videos permanently.

In my opinion, this is a somewhat modest price for my work.
You can figure out how to purchase Bitcoins using search engines like Google or Bing, seeing that it's not very difficult.

My Bitcoin wallet (BTC): 34gC4ogbjqo5NcksFsD3gJMtbeLdeVsit5

You have 48 hours to reply and you should also bear the following in mind:

It makes no sense to reply me - the address has been generated automatically.
It makes no sense to complain either, since the letter along with my Bitcoin wallet cannot be tracked.
Everything has been orchestrated precisely.

If I ever detect that you mentioned anything about this letter to anyone - the video will be immediately shared, and your contacts will be the first to receive it. Following that, the video will be posted on the web!

P.S. The time will start once you open this letter. (This program has a built-in timer).

Good luck and take it easy! It was just bad luck, next time please be careful.

Hello!

Unfortunately, I have some unpleasant news for you.
Roughly several months ago I have managed to get a complete access to all devices that you use to browse internet.
Afterwards, I have proceeded with monitoring all internet activities of yours.

You can check out the sequence of events summarize below:
Previously I have bought from hackers a special access to various email accounts (currently, it is rather a straightforward thing that can be done online).
Clearly, I could effortlessly log in to your email account as well ([REDACTED]).

One week after that, I proceeded with installing a Trojan virus in Operating Systems of all your devices, which are used by you to login to your email.
Actually, that was rather a simple thing to do (because you have opened a few links from your inbox emails previously).
Genius is in simplicity. ( ~_^)

Thanks to that software I can get access to all controllers inside your devices (such as your video camera, microphone, keyboard etc.).
I could easily download all your data, photos, web browsing history and other information to my servers.
I can access all your social networks accounts, messengers, emails, including chat history as well as contacts list.
This virus of mine unceasingly keeps refreshing its signatures (since it is controlled by a driver), and as result stays unnoticed by antivirus software.

Hereby, I believe by this time it is already clear for you why I was never detected until I sent this letter...

While compiling all the information related to you, I have also found out that you are a true fan and frequent visitor of adult websites.
You truly enjoy browsing through porn websites, while watching arousing videos and experiencing an unimaginable satisfaction.
To be honest, I could not resist but to record some of your kinky solo sessions and compiled them in several videos, which demonstrate you masturbating and cumming in the end.

If you still don't trust me, all it takes me is several mouse clicks to distribute all those videos with your colleagues, friends and even relatives.
In addition, I can upload them online for entire public to access.
I truly believe, you absolutely don't want such things to occur, bearing in mind the kinky stuff exposed in those videos that you usually watch, (you definitely understand what I am trying to say) it will result in a complete disaster for you.

We can still resolve it in the following manner:
You perform a transfer of $1590 USD to me (a bitcoin equivalent based on the exchange rate during the funds transfer), so after I receive the transfer, I will straight away remove all those lecherous videos without hesitation.
Then we can pretend like it has never happened before. In addition, I assure that all the harmful software will be deactivated and removed from all devices of yours. Don't worry, I am a man of my word.

It is really a good deal with a considerably low the price, bearing in mind that I was monitoring your profile as well as traffic over an extended period.
If you still unaware about the purchase and transfer process of bitcoins - all you can do is find the necessary information online.

My bitcoin wallet is as follows: 1771s891APz1wNKdn5fe3Vknmf5pN18cWu

You are left with 48 hours and the countdown starts right after you open this email (2 days to be specific).

Don't forget to keep in mind and abstain from doing the following:
> Do not attempt to reply my email (this email was generated in your inbox together with the return address).
> Do not attempt to call police as well as other security services. Moreover, don't even think of sharing it with your friends. If I get to know about it (based on my skills, that would be very easy, since that I have all your systems under my control and constant monitoring) - your dirty video will become public without delay.
> Don't attempt searching for me - it is completely useless. Cryptocurrency transactions always remain anonymous.
> Don't attempt reinstalling the OS of your devices or even getting rid of them. It is meaningless too, because all your private videos are already been available on remote servers.

Things you should be concerned about:
> That I will not receive the funds transfer you make.
Relax, I will be able to track it immediately, after you complete the funds transfer, because I unceasingly monitor all activities that you do (trojan virus of mine can control remotely all processes, same as TeamViewer).
> That I will still distribute your videos after you have sent the money to me.
Believe me, it is pointless for me to proceed with troubling you after that. Besides that, if that really was my intention, it would happen long time ago!

It all will be settled on fair conditions and terms!

One last advice from me... Moving forward make sure you don't get involved in such type of incidents again!
My suggestion - make sure you change all your passwords as often as possible.

I got bad news for you personally.

Some time ago I got admission to your gadgets.
After that, I started keeping track of your activity.

I built a Trojan on the operating systems in all gadgets that you use to get into the net.
This program offers me admittance to all your devices.

I have uploaded all your info, pictures, and browsing history to my own servers.
I just got admission to all of your data, communication messengers, social networking, contact information, e mail and so forth.

My virus up-dates fingerprints and stays unseen to anti-virus applications.
Whilst gathering info on you, I discovered you're a big lover of grown-up websites and are enjoying exciting videos while experiencing so much fun.

I was capable to record several of your filthy moments when you masturbate and achieve orgasmic pleasure.

In case you have any doubts, I can generate a couple of mouse clicks and video clips are going to be demonstrated to everybody you know.

And also I can post all your messages, personal photos, and all your secret information on the net.

I could harm your reputation forever.

I do believe you actually don't want this to happen, given the character of the videos you love to watch, you know what I'm talking about, it will likely be an absolute disaster in your case.

Now let's resolve that in this way: you send me 1000 DOLLARS (in bitcoin equivalent to the exchange rate during the time of transfer), & I'll instantly remove everything.
Following that, we'll forget about each other.

Furthermore , i guarantee to disconnect and get rid of all viruses from your gadgets.

Keep in mind that I always hold my word of mouth.
Here is my btc address: bc1qss4gl6y9hulrtrauaj6upka5dq4lntjq6ahhx4

You have Two working days as soon as you view this e mail.

If you do not send money, your video and all your computer data will be published on the Internet for all individuals as well as your family members.
I'll mess up your status forever.

Do not try to find me and do not try to contact law enforcement along with other security services, otherwise your computer data will be posted.

I know many insider secrets about you, therefore in case your status is valuable, bear in mind that I am able to wreck it forever.

Hi.

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.
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 now, 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-]]_1447084044.mp4 (119.1 MB)
[[-Email-]]_1444285697.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 you know is pretty crazy and
ugly) I have been wondering how we can keep this matter under the wraps.

Is 2000 US dollars in Bitcoin a fair price to ask? (considering your
perversions).

Is up to you to decide so , i will give that chance to conclude if you
want me to forget about the whole case, remove the files and disable
the nasty app that is spying on you.

I am waiting to hear your opinion within 72
hours. Yes, I give you 72 hours only to respond by Contacting me on
this email address: hoohea@mail.ru

If you fail to respond within 72 hours, I promise you - I will send those files
with you enjoying yourself to all your contact lists, associates and social
network friends.

With access to your device, I will know when you read this message.
When you open it the time will start 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 to write so that we can deliberate and forget about the
whole situation between us. 2000 USD in bitcoin is not big ask and i
know you can afford it.

Do not be angry with 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..

Remember, time is ticking..
