Waning !!!
on: December 28, 2018, 11:46:57 PM
I got an a
email today that was a little different than the usual phishing that comes from somewhere in Africa. The title was an old password that I used several years ago so it kind of got my attention. The smurf was trying to extort $1000.00 from me by claiming he had dirty pics of me doing smurf in front of my computer camera. Claims he got them by hacking my router. This seems highly doubtful since there is no camera on my computer.
Needless to say he is not getting smurf from me. However I did call the local police, yeah I know there isn't much they can do, but maybe they can warn otherts. I'm pretty sure he got the password from one of the hacked websites we used to do business with. Just be on your toes, this is one phishing lure I have not seen before.



Some body get me a bb gun so I can shoot his smurf off!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant: :rant: :rant:

Yep, just another scam, the scammer doesn't actually have anything, just a userid and an old password.  I guess if they send thousands out and get a couple of bites then it is worth their while.  It is a useful reminder to change your passwords to keep safe.

There is another on that has started recently which states someone has engaged the scammer to throw acid in your face, but for a fee they will not throw acid in your face and will tell you who requested it.

I just flick scam emails like this into my junk folder, and regularly review the folder before I empty it.

Hehe, I got one of them "I hacked your router" emails too. It was in my spam folder though.  :think:
Anyway, he wanted 700 or something in cryptocurrency or he was gonna reveal my "naughty stuff"  :ahhh :D
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Are you sure that this is going to be your defence ...  :think:

I mean ... I would give at least two reasons why it was highly doubtful  :pok:.

I've heard of this scam before.

I have not received one of these messages before myself...
I also figured, that even if someone has genuine footage stolen from your pc, I wonder who the smurf will care?

Like, if a vid of someone unknown ends up online... so what? Nobody knows him, and the ones who do, won't be like "hey I saw your video on a xxx site!" Because that would just be like saying "I'm a regular there" :rofl:

https://haveibeenpwned.com/ may tell which breach is the source for the scammer.

If you have an old password you wonder whether has been cracked, you can take a look at https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords (Never enter a current password in a service like that, obviously, since that exposes that password for unnecessary risk (for being intercepted, stored, etc).)
