I own very sensitive information about your web activities

I own very sensitive information about your web activities

Greetings!<br> <br> First of all, let me tell you, you are one of a kind!<br> It is hard to impress me because I have seen a lot in my career as a professional hacker but now I am really impressed. <br> <br> I will get straight to the point. Listen to me carefully. <br> <br> Several months ago, <br> I was able to hack your operating system and gain full access to all your devices and accounts including messengers, social media profiles, etc. <br> <br> If you still do not believe me, here is a password to your account on the day when I logged in into it: tohayasinx0<br> <br> I hope, now you begin to get my message. <br> It goes without saying that I gained access to what you type via keylogger, your internet activity and webcam streaming. <br> All of this was possible due to your frequent visits to adult websites infected with harmful malware. <br> In other words, you were under my microscope for many days like some kind of a little bug.<br> The only difference is that unlike you there is no bug in the world who like to watch pervert porn. <br> <br> Yes, you understand it right: I was able to see everything on your screen and record video and audio streams of your camera and microphone. <br> All of these records are currently securely saved on my storage as well as a backup copy. <br> <br> In addition, I also gained access to your confidential information contained in your emails and chat messages.<br> <br> Probably you are wondering why your antivirus and spyware defender software allowed me to do all of this? <br> I am sorry but it's a very stupid question. All antivirus programs turned into useless shit quite a long time ago. <br> Have you ever heard last years about any "advanced" new technologies in this industry? <br> Exactly. Nowadays, developers do not give a flying fuck about your security. Therefore, hackers like me took advantage of it. <br> <br> The more you know my friend, no need to thank me. <br> Maybe with this fresh knowledge, you will be more serious about your internet security and never take it for granted anymore. <br> <br> With that out of the way, let's cut to the chase. Using your recordings I made a video compilation, <br> which shows on the left side the controversial porn scenes of you happily masturbating to, <br> while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment.. ^.^<br> <br> There are only 48 hours left since the moment you receive this email until I send this video to all your email and messenger contacts. <br> But there is more, guess what? I can also make public all your emails and chat history.<br> <br> You are sick fuck in love with freaky adult content but you are not mentally retarted so I would like to believe, you do not want to let this happen. <br> Right? Only the most stupid man in the world would be happy if his friends, loved ones and colleagues suddenly knew about something like this. <br> <br> In other words, there is no way back. It cannot be fixed. However, there is a way forward that both of us can benefit from. <br> I am a reasonable guy and have no intention to ruin your life for nothing. I'd better like to gain something instead. <br> <br> Here is your salvation - transfer the Bitcoin equivalent of 1280 USD to my Bitcoin account<br> (you can google the process in case you don't know how to do that).<br> <br> Here is my Bitcoin address: 1LLUWdiZyG9sWkD49SGaUTZGBabATDYiyk<br> <br> Once I am notified of receiving it, I will delete all those videos and disappear from your life for good.<br> As I mentioned, you have only 48 hours to make a transaction after you open this email.<br> <br> Believe me, I am always one step ahead so no way in hell you could fool me. <br> If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will send and publish your videos in no time.<br> <br> P.S. It's in your power to make it nice for both of us.
