Yesterday I received an email saying that all my files images and other information's are being controlled or see what I'm doing, some would react and be paranoid that their files were gone, he told me that he gain access to my router, and installed an exploit or a rootkit.
When receiving emails like this always be calm and collect yourself before reacting
I never open email from strangers especially if that email is filter automatically into Spam folder.

Prevention is better than cure and I want to prioritize for prevention first. It is better than clicking on strange email, then curiously click on strange links and hope that your computer won't be infected with hazardous elements from hackers. It is unrealistic and risky to believe that Internet Security software or Antivirus software will be able to protect you against those threats completely.

Your habit when using Internet is more important than any AV software.

When receiving emails like this always be calm and collect yourself before reacting, all of his/her statement were false, because I'm using a firewall, which blocking incoming connection from unknown or deny and will alert me, he also is trying to ask for a bitcoin payment, but for every newbies or with little knowledge on how to protect your computer, or devices, never click popups, links, and open adult content site on your computer and mobiles devices specially if you are doing trading, online banking or anything that will, allow hackers to infiltrate's your network, hackers and scammers will do anything to get what they want, in some cases some people got their pc infected and encrypted all their file while hackers asking for ransom, so be careful opening files, or emails, from unknown people or even from an infected pc, if its suspicious never open or click anything, besides if you ever transact with them you are not sure if they will comply
