Today I want to share with you an interesting experience in which An alleged hacker is sending me an email because he is completely controlling me. This is what you need to know if you receive an email similar to this, it’s quite common and you have nothing to worry about.
This hacker is out of this world
This wicked man introduces himself under the following sentence, worthy of a B movie. “I’ve been watching him for a few weeks. “You don’t know how this is possible? » Well, I don’t know, maybe because you’re an evil genius with technological superpowers?
Apparently, this cybercriminal has access to everything, my camera, my microphone and my messages. The most impressive thing is its ability to bypass the various security measures I have installed. But let’s continue, because what’s coming now makes me tremble.
“My software uses its own drivers, which allows me to update its activity every two hours and so it goes undetected.”
Well maybe you should consider sell your revolutionary technology to cybersecurity companies, It is obvious that with you in their ranks, they would have the solution to the most difficult problems. But of course you ask poor bastards like me for “scrap”.
The infallible blackmail
Here’s the juicy part. Our hackers claim I have a compromising video of myself. Okay, maybe you haven’t noticed that the webcam on my device is covered in a post-it note. I think it will be a new technology that will allow recording on pink paper.
To prevent my reputation from being destroyed by this non-existent video, I just need to make a small transfer of $850 in bitcoins. It kind of seems, because I started extorting myself, that he could have asked me for $8,500 instead of this little thing.
Don’t fall into the trap
All joking aside, these types of emails are scam attempts known as sextortion. It is important that these attempts by digital criminals They do not have access to your devices, They also don’t have a video that engages you, and all they do is pressure and use scare tactics to make you act quickly and without thinking.
If you receive an email like this, the only thing you can do is block the sender, delete it and, of course, Do not click on any links. The best defense against these cheap cybercriminals is common sense and, of course, skepticism as a standard. There is nothing to worry about, so don’t fall into this crude trap that only aims to extract money from you and later extort money from you again.
