rundwald Posted July 24, 2019 ID:1324854 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I received this Hi, dear user of ******.******.com We have installed one RAT software into you device For this moment your email account is hacked too. Changed your password? You're doing great! But my software recognizes every such action. I'm updating passwords! I'm always one step ahead.... So... I have downloaded all confidential information from your system and I got some more evidence. The most interesting moment that I have discovered are videos records where you masturbating. I posted EternalBlue Exploit modification on porn site, and then you installed my malicious code (trojan) on your operation system. When you clicked the button Play on porn video, at that moment my trojan was downloaded to your device. After installation, your front camera shoots video every time you masturbate, in addition, the software is synchronized with the video you choose. For the moment, the software has harvrested all your contact information from social networks and email addresses. If you need to erase all of your collected data and video with your enjoy, send me $600(usd) in BTC (crypto currency). This is my Bitcoin wallet: 15Z4Y1q5QufvFPvRBKhwVhQyFTLwEQ5f4J You have 48 hours after reading this letter. After your transaction I will erase all your data. Otherwise, I will send video with your pranks to all your colleagues, friends and relatives!!! P.S. I'm asking you - not to answer this letter because the sender's address is fake, just to keep me incognito. And henceforth be more careful! Please visit only secure sites! Bye,Bye Certain statements within cause me to doubt its genuineness. I have Malwarebytes Premium ( free), and a scan is clear. Bitdefender free is my virus checker. Your advice please!

David H. Lipman Posted July 24, 2019 ID:1325044 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) You won't get an email you'll get a list of sites IFF the email address you entered was part of a known breach. I just gave the site one of my email addresses and I was provided the following... You can sign up for email notifications for the email address you provide if it is found in any subsequent NEW breaches. For example I received an email last week about the Evite Breach that email address was associated with. Edited July 24, 2019 by David H.
