ALF Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Here’s a sample of a sextortion email created by the spam bot, as provided by Check Point: “Hi, I know one of your passwords is: {password} Your computer was infected with my private malware…My malware gave me full access to all your accounts (see password above), full control over your computer and it also was possible to spy on you over your webcam. I collected all your private data and I RECORDED YOU (through your webcam) SATISFYING YOURSELF! I can publish the video of you and all your private data on the whole web, social networks, over email of all contacts." Sextortion is a growing threat. In 2018, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received 51,146 extortion-related complaints with adjusted losses of over $83 million, a 242 percent increase from 2017. At the root of the campaign is a botnet currently operating on more than 450,000 infected hosts, according to a new report from Check Point Research, an IT security firm. The botnet – a network of malicious computers – spits out millions of sextortion threats, as many as 30,000 per hour, Check Point said https://www.foxnews.com/tech/massive-sextortion-attack-running-wild One response is interesting if possible If they were legitimately able to hack your computer then why not just go into your bank account and wire the money to themselves?

ALF Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 The real threat is ransomware where they encrypt your computer until ransom is paid. That is mainly city gov agencies , hospitals if I understand it.
