Geek Speak / Re: Victim of an Adult Site Blackmail Email Hoax?
« on: 22/05/2023 10:04:55 »
It seems like a particularly malicious email scam is currently circulating. These messages pretend to know your password and threaten to send a video of you to all your contacts if you don't send a certain amount of money via bitcoin within 24 hours. Do not worry- this is a scam! While the password may appear to be correct, it is more than likely one that was stolen from a data breach long ago. In fact, some scammers have already been able to successfully net a large amount of money via this scam. To protect yourself, never respond to suspicious emails and never send money requested in such an email. Be sure to also change your passwords regularly and avoid using the same passwords for different websites or accounts.
