The Enshittification of Sextortion, because they can

Another day, another email to an old, never-used email address of mine.

Hi,

I am a hacker, and I have successfully gained access to your operating system.
I also have full access to your account.

At the time of hacking your account had this password: xxxx

Oh no! A password from 1996 has been sent to me (thank you dvd-shop.ch….)

I’ve been watching you for a few months now.

The fact is that your computer has been infected with malware through an adult site that you visited.
If you are not familiar with this, I will explain.
Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device.
This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it.
I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence.

This just keeps happening to me. Or, alternately, this is just an email to scare me. Into what, I wonder….

Why did your antivirus not detect malware?
Answer: The malware I used is driver-based, I update its signatures every 4 hours. Hence your antivirus is unable to detect its presence.
I made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and the right half shows the video you were watching at the time.

And of course drivers on at least one of my systems need to be signed by Microsoft. Driver, you say? Do you understand what a driver is?

The video, for anyone stumbling across this post, does not exist. Fear not, when you get this email. Because the punchline is…..

With one mouse click, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on your social networks.
I can also make public all your e-mail correspondence and chat history on the messengers that you use.

If you don’t want this to happen, transfer $1190 in Bitcoin equivalent to my Bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, just search “buy bitcoin” on Google).

My Bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1BaobaRFd1NfNQ2GSHXBFvc1hjffhaVr2V

Nice, empty wallet, Mr 1BaobaRFd1NfNQ2GSHXBFvc1hjffhaVr2V. The good news is nobody is falling for this crap anymore. If you came here because you Googled the wallet, relax. You’re not compromised, you don’t need to worry and this is all to scare you.

After confirming your payment, I will delete the video immediately, and that’s it. You will never hear from me again.
I will give you 50 hours (more than 2 days) to pay. I will get a notice, when you open this email, and the timer will start.
Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my Bitcoin address.

I never make any mistakes.
If I find that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will be immediately distributed.

Best regards!

You never make any mistakes? You’re relaying through this IP address, it does not look like a VPN service but rather a residential IP address in Chinchvad, India. I hope nobody calls your mom or your dad…..

This is yet another example of a badly-formed sextortion email scam designed to get money because of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt). There is no video, there is no need to pay. You’re welcome!!
