Did you reply with "You're too late, Covid has already destroyed my business"?

I was soooo tempted. :whistle:

Sadly, there's just the nagging doubt that this Herbert will in fact ping all sorts of garbage round the world, pretending to be me.

Highly doubt it. What's in it for them?

In fact, the whole thing sounds like a variation on this old chestnut that I receive several times a day for what seems like several years now... I don't even have a webcam :muppet:

Hello!

I have very bad news for you.
17/03/2019 - on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account [email protected]

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 $747 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: 14qdpR8q1hkchangedtoprotecttheinnocentGV5

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!

Forget about it, get on with your day :)

Interesting thing is, there's a variant of Martin's example going around which will actually contain a password that you've used before. It will have been obtained through a breach at a service / website you used at some point in the past, and there's nothing like seeing a familiar password to make you sit up!

Thankfully I've always used separate, unique passwords for each website, so any breach is no big deal, but I know that I'm unusual in this as most people will reuse password(s) again and again.

Recommendation #1: Check your email address(es) at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and subscribe for future notifications at https://haveibeenpwned.com/NotifyMe. Also check your password(s) at https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords.

Recommendation #2: Use a password manager. I use https://keepass.info/

Apparently I've been caught doing the nasty with my hand, over pics of kids, so unless I pay bitcoin $$$ the whole world will know.

Binned that email. Idiots.

Had that one several times.

Sorry - that particular stone has been bled dry for at least the next couple of tax years after the lack of support I've had. I'm keeping the business alive out of my own pocket now

I have Macs and use the recommended Keychain (blimmin' hard to replicate and even remember) passwords for each and every site I need to create an account on.
As the owner of my domains, I also usually sign up to things using unique email addresses such as [email protected], so if problems occur I know where they've come from based on the email address used.

All good advice. One I forgot to mention is to enable 2 factor authentication on all logins that support it. On my most important logins I use https://store.google.com/gb/product/titan_security_key which, while expensive, is well worth it IMHO.

On the subject of custom emails so you know where they're from, you don't need your own domain for that. It's a little known feature of GMail that you can add custom strings to your own address, which lets you both see where it has been used and also setup filters in GMail to make it easier to manage.

For example, if you're [email protected], you can use [email protected] for the MDD, and [email protected] for eBay etc. etc.

Another little GMail FYI, you can add and remove dots anywhere in your address (before the @) and it doesn't matter, so [email protected] can also use [email protected], or even [email protected] :daft:

Here's one for the collective brain hive

I've had several of these over the past couple of weeks, and no amount of scratching my brain cell can work out where it's supposed to lead/what it's supposed to acheive.

It's certainly a scam of some kind (it often comes from different names and is ALWAYS addressed to undisclosed recipients)....I just can't work it out.



Hello,

We have recently got engaged and are starting to look at where we would like to get married in the summer of 2022. We would love to learn more about hosting our wedding and the idea of being able to build our wedding from scratch in such a beautiful setting!

Firstly, would it be possible to get a rough price for a weekend wedding between May and September in 2022?

It would also be great to understand how much availability you currently have for this period?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Excalibur

Simple. You're a wedding venue*. " Such a beautiful setting".
