Attachment
The messages all have a pdf attachment that is also titled with the recipient's name.
The attachments follow the same format, attempting to threaten the recipient into paying money or the sender will release information they've allegedly gathered on you from your phone and computer.
The attachments read:
[Recipent's name],
I knowthat calling [recipient's phone number] or visiting [recipient's address] would be a effective way to have a wordwith youif you don't take action. Don't even try to hide from this. You've no idea what I'm capable of in [Recipient's town/city].
It's important you pay attention to this message right now. Take a moment to chill, breathe, and analyze itthoroughly. 'Cause we're about to discuss a deal between you and me, and I don't play games. You do notknow anything about me however I know ALOT about you and right now, you are wondering how, correct? Well, you've been a bit careless lately, scrolling through those videos and venturing into the darker corners of cyberspace. I actually installed a Malware on a porn website and you accessed it to watch(if you know what Imean). And when you got busy watching our videos, your systeminitiated working as a RDP (Remote Device) which provided me with total access to your smartphone. I can look at everything on your screen, flick on
your camera and mic, and you wouldn't even notice. Oh, and I have got access to all your emails, contacts, and social media accounts too.
Been keeping tabs on your pathetic existence for a while now. It is simply your hard luck that I noticed your misadventures. I gave in more days than I should have looking into your personal life. Extracted quite a bit of juicy info fromyour system. and I've seen it all. Yeah, Yeah, I've got footage of you doing embarrassing things
in your room(nice setup, by the way). I then developed videos and screenshots where on one side of the screen, there's the videos you had been enjoying, and on the other half, its your vacant face. With just a single click, I can send this video to every single of your contacts.
Your confusion is clear, but don't expect sympathy. Wholeheartedly, I amwilling to wipe the slate clean, and let you continue with your daily life and forget you ever existed. I will give you two alternatives.
Option 1 is to ignore this email message. You should know what will happen if you choose this path. Your video will get sent to your entire contacts. The video was straight fire, and I can't even fathomthe humiliationyou'll endure when your colleagues, friends, and famwatch it. But hey, that's life, ain't it? Don't be playing the
victimhere.
Wiser second option is to pay me, and be confidential about it. We will name this my “confidentiality fee”. letme tell you what happens if you choose this choice. Your secret remains private. I will wipe everything cleanonce you come through with the payment. You will make the payment through Bitcoin only. I want you to
know I'maiming for a win-win here. My word is my bond.
RequiredAmount: USD 2000
BITCOIN ADDRESS IS: [redacted]
Or, (Here's your Bitcoin QR code, you can scan it): [redacted]
Once you pay up, you'llsleep like a baby. I keep my word.
Pay Attention: You got one day to sort this out and I will only accept Bitcoins (I have a specific pixel withinthis mail, and right now I know that you have read through this email). My systemwill catch that Bitcoinpayment and wipe out all the dirt I got on you. Don't even think about replying to this or negotiating, it'spointless. The email and wallet are custom-made for you, untraceable. If I notice that you've shared or
discussed this email with anyone else, the video will instantly start getting sent to your contacts. And don'teven think about turning off your phone or resetting it to factory settings. It's pointless. I don't make mistakes, [Recipient's name].
Can you notice something here?

Honestly, those online tips about covering your camera aren't as useless as they seem. I amwaiting for mypayment..
