got me a cool email:
"Hello
I know your password!
I infected you with a malware (RAT)/(Remote Administration Tool), some time ago and since then, I have been observing your actions. The malware gave me full access and control over your system, meaning, I can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera or microphone and you won't even notice about it, yes such things exist, you can Google it!
I have also access to all your contacts, I collected everything private from you, pictures, videos, everything!
And I MADE A VIDEO SHOWING BOTH YOU (through your webcam) AND THE VIDEO YOU WERE WATCHING (on the screen) WHILE SATISFYING YOURSELF!
I can send this video to all your contacts (email, social network) and publish all your private stuff everywhere!
You can prevent me from doing this!
To stop me, transfer exactly: 400$ with the current bitcoin (BTC) price to my bitcoin address.
If you don't know how to get bitcoin, Google - "How to buy Bitcoin", it's very simple for example with credit card. The wallet you can create here:
https://www.blockchain.com My bitcoin address is: ------SCAt5KGrMSR1ktL4Tkow4s------ (disabled it)
Copy and paste my address - it's (CASE-sensitive).
You know this all isn't a joke, you got the proof above!
I think it's a very good price compared to the damage and hell it can bring into your life!
After receiving the payment, I will delete everything from you and you can life your live in peace like before. I give you 3 days to get the bitcoins!
Don't share this email with anyone, this should stay our little secret!"
Makes me laugh as I would not care if someone posted a video.
Also I do not have a camera on my monitor for this exact reason.
Every time i see this type of email, it reminds me of a good client of mine, one of my very first customer when i started my business...
I rocked up to his workshop, and the first thing he says to me:
"Mate, There is a fucking hidden camera in my toilet"!
I was worried but curious at the same time, I said, "Steve, WTF are you taking about? Are you sure? Where is it? Have you found it?"
He goes, and I'll never forget this...
"Mate, I am 100% sure there is a hidden camera in the toilet or bathroom, I am getting all these emails about "Penis Enlargements"... Tell me, how the fuck do they know i got a SMALL COCK!!?"
Pissed my self laughing!!!!
