New phishing scam claims to have videos of you watching porn!
Given that the Nigerian prince scam no longer pulling in the wedge it used to, it was only a matter of time before scammers starting using more sinister tactics as a way of extorting money from their victims - enter the 'sextortion scam'.
The scary phishing scam is an email where the sender claims to have hacked your device and has used its camera to record you watching porn and polishing your knob while or jamming a hairbrush up your anus. I dunno, whatever floats your boat. Even if you're not an avid viewer of porn, the email is detailed in such a way that will make you believe that these hackers truly have some serious dirt on you. What really gets the victim sweating is the fact that the subject of the email just so happens to be one of their private passwords, which really makes believe the whole thing is real. In one example of the email, the sender writes:
I created a double-screen video. First part displays the video you were watching (you've got a good taste lol) and second part displays the recording of your webcam.
Exactly what should you do? Well, I believe $1200 is a fair price for our little secret. You'll make the payment through Bitcoin. You have one day to make the payment. If I do not receive the Bitcoins, I will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including friends, family, colleagues and so forth.
Proper scary right? If I didn't already have tape covering my laptop camera, I'd totally believe these scammers had videos of me watching some of the grimy chav porn I'm into (Don't judge me). Thankfully, the hackers don't actually have access to your porn history - or any videos of you for that matter. Nor have they hacked into your computer. What's actually happened is that the senders have taken your password from a leaked database and sent it to you, in the hopes that you'll be so terrified of your entire family seeing your cock that you cough up the cash.
So there you go folks, if you receive such an email, don't go throwing around Bitcoins. Just delete the email, change your passwords and carry on watching filth, ideally the Rampant TV hotties!!! Be safe online fuckers!
