해킹당해서 이런 메일을 받았는데 어떻게 해야 하나요?.

Question

Hi!

Sadly, there are some bad news that you are about to hear.
About few months ago I have gained a full access to all devices used by you for internet browsing.
Shortly after, I started recording all internet activities done by you.

Below is the sequence of events of how that happened:
Earlier I purchased from hackers a unique access to diversified email accounts (at the moment, it is really easy to do using internet).
As you can see, I managed to log in to your email account without breaking a sweat: (******@hotmail.com).

Within one week afterwards, I installed a Trojan virus in your Operating Systems available on all devices that you utilize for logging in your email.
To be frank, it was somewhat a very easy task (since you were kind enough to open some of links provided in your inbox emails).
I know, you may be thinking now that I'm a genius.....^^)

With help of that useful software, I am now able to gain access to all the controllers located in your devices
(e.g., video camera, keyboard, microphone and others).
As result, managed to download all your photos, personal data, history of web browsing and other info to my servers without any problems.
Moreover, I now have access to all accounts in your messengers, social networks, emails, contacts list, chat history - you name it.
My Trojan virus continues refreshing its signatures in a non-stop manner (because it is operated by driver),
hence it remains undetected by any antivirus software installed in your PC or device.

So, I guess now you finally understand the reason why I could never be caught until this very letter...

During the process of your personal info compilation,
I could not help but notice that you are a huge admirer and regular guest of websites with adult content.
You endure a lot of pleasure while checking out porn websites, watching nasty porn movies and reaching breathtaking orgasms.
Let me be frank with you, it was really hard to resist from recording some of those naughty solo scenes with you in main role
and compiling them in special videos that expose your masturbation sessions, which end with you cumming.

In case if you still have doubts, all I need is to click my mouse and all those nasty videos with you will be shared to friends,
colleagues, and relatives of yours.
Moreover, nothing stops me from uploading all that hot content online, so all public can watch it too.
I sincerely hope, you would really not prefer that to happen, keeping in mind all the dirty things you like to watch,
(you certainly know what I mean) it will completely ruin your reputation.

However, don't worry, there is still a way to resolve this:
You need to carry out a $640 USD transfer to my wallet (equivalent amount in bitcoins depending on exchange rate at the moment of funds transfer),
hence upon receiving the transaction, I will proceed with deleting all the filthy videos with you in main role.
Afterwards, we can forget about this unpleasant accident.
Furthermore, I guarantee that all the malicious software will also be erased from your devices and accounts. Mark my words, I never lie.

That is a great bargain with a low price,
I assure you, because I have spent a lot of effort while recording and tracking down all your activities and dirty deeds during a long period of time.
In case if you have no idea how to buy and transfer bitcoins - feel free to check the related info on the internet.

Here is my bitcoin wallet for your reference: bc1q7jtlsp6rpfrky6r4yygpmay6gcgylurxhy64er

Attention please! I can specified my Bitcoin wallet with spaces,
please make sure that you key-in my bitcoin address without spaces to be sure that your coins successfully reach my wallet!

From now on, you have only 48 hours and countdown has started once you opened this very email (in other words, 2 days).

The following list contains things you should definitely abstain from doing or even attempting:
~>> Abstain from trying to reply this email (since the email is generated inside your inbox alongside with return address).
~>> Abstain from trying to call or report to police or any other security services.
 In addition, it's a bad idea if you want to share it with your friends, hoping they would help.
 If I happen to find out (knowing my awesome skills, it can be done effortlessly,
 because I have all your devices and accounts under my control and unceasing observation) - kinky videos of yours will be share to public the same day.
~>> Abstain from trying to look for me - that would not lead anywhere either. Cryptocurrency transactions are absolutely anonymous and cannot be tracked.
~>> Abstain from reinstalling your OS on devices or throwing them away.
 That would not solve the problem as well, since all your personal videos are already uploaded and stored at remote servers.

Things you may be confused about:
~>> That your funds transfer won't be delivered to me.
Chill, I can track down any transactions right away, so upon funds transfer I will receive a notification as well,
since I still control your devices (my trojan virus has ability of controlling all processes remotely, just like TeamViewer).
~>> That I am going to share your dirty videos after receiving money transfer from you.
Here you need to trust me, because there is absolutely no point to still bother you after receiving money.
Moreover, if I really wanted all those videos would be available to public long time ago!

I believe we can still handle this situation on fair terms!

Here is my last advice to you... in future you better ensure you stay away from this kind of situations!
My advice - don't forget to regularly update your passwords to feel completely secure.

안녕하세요,

포럼에 와주셔서 감사합니다. 제 이름은 푸아드입니다.

여기 있는 누구도 귀하의 계정이 손상되었는지 여부를 확인할 수 없습니다. 당신이 이것을 알고 있는지는 모르겠지만 여기 Microsoft Answers 커뮤니티에서는 당신(그리고 나)과 같은 사용자를 상대하고 있으므로 우리가 할 수 있는 일에는 한계가 있습니다.

나 역시 그런 협박 메시지를 받은 적이 있음을 확인해 드릴 수 있지만, 그들이 나의 비디오와 이미지를 가지고 있고 다른 사람들과 공유할 것이라고 주장하기 때문에 그들이 거짓말을 하고 있다는 것을 알았습니다.

내 장치에는 내 이미지가 없고 웹캠은 항상 비활성화되어 있으므로 이것이 거짓말이라는 것을 알았습니다. 이 포럼의 많은 사람들이 비슷한 메일을 받았습니다.

귀하의 계정을 안전하게 보호하고 무시하라고 말씀드리지만, 안전이 필요하다고 느끼신다면(우리는 이것이 거짓말이라고 추측만 할 수 있기 때문에) 해당 국가의 당국에 사건을 신고하십시오.

귀하의 계정에 대해 다음을 수행하여 보안이 손상되지 않도록 하세요.

1. 비밀번호를 정기적으로(지금 하세요) 변경하고, 복잡한 영숫자 비밀번호로 변경하세요. 비밀번호를 변경하려면 account.microsoft.com으로 이동하여 보안 > 비밀번호 변경을 클릭하세요. 더 명확하게 하려면 다음 링크의 단계를 따르세요. https://support.microsoft.com/help/fdde885b-86da-2965-69fd-4871309ef1f1
2. 비밀번호 변경 후 모든 기기에서 로그아웃하세요. 로그인한 모든 세션에서 로그아웃하여 어디에서 로그인하든 비밀번호를 묻는 메시지가 표시됩니다. account.microsoft.com으로 이동 > 보안 클릭 > 고급 보안 옵션 아래로 스크롤하여 로그아웃 > 로그아웃을 클릭합니다. 모든 기기에서 다시 로그인해야 합니다.
3. 그런 다음 이 작업을 수행하는 것이 매우 중요합니다. 이중 공장 인증을 활성화하고, 이미 활성화된 경우 세부 정보가 최신 상태인지 확인합니다.

활성화/확인하려면 https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=529561 링크를 따르세요. 단계별 지침이 필요한 경우 여기에서 이 가이드를 사용하세요. https://support.microsoft.com/help/33452159-6af9-438f-8f82-63ce94cf3d29

또한 매우 중요한 점은 장치의 소프트웨어 사용 및 설치가 신중하게 수행되었는지 확인하고 제조업체가 신뢰할 수 있는 회사인지 모르는 경우 장치에 소프트웨어를 설치하지 마십시오.

이 주제에 관해 다른 질문이 있는 경우 알려주시기 바랍니다.

Hello,

Thank you for coming to the forum. My name is Fuad.

Nobody here can confirm for you if your account has been compromised or not. I do not know if you know this, but here in this Microsoft answers community, you are dealing with users like you (and me), there is a limit to what we can do

I can confirm to you that I too have got such blackmail messages, but I knew they were lying because they claim to have videos and images of me, that they will share with others.

On my device there are no images of me, and my webcam is always disabled, so I knew this was a lie. Many people in this forum have got similar mails.

I will say secure your account and ignore, but if you feel the need to be safe (since we can only speculate that this is a lie), report the case to the authorities in your country.

For your account, do the below, to make sure your security is never compromised.

1. Chang your password regularly (do it now), and change it to a complex alphanumeric one.

To change password, go to account.microsoft.com > Click on Security > Change Password Follow the steps in this link, for more clarity: https://support.microsoft.com/help/fdde885b-86da-2965-69fd-4871309ef1f1

2. After password change, sign out all devices. To sign out all signed-in sessions so that anywhere you are signed in it will now ask for a password: Go to account.microsoft.com > Click on Security > Advanced Security Options Scroll down to Sign Me Out > Click on Sign me out

You will need to sign in again on all your devices.

3. Then this is very important to do, enable two-factory authentication, if it is already enabled, then confirm the details there are current and up-to-date:

To enable it/confirm, just follow this link: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=529561. And if you want some step-by-step guidance, use this guide here: https://support.microsoft.com/help/33452159-6af9-438f-8f82-63ce94cf3d29

If there is anything else on this subject you have a question on, do let me know.

Best Regards Fuad
