Hello, my perverted friend,

We've actually known each other for a while, at least I know you.
You can call me Big Brother or the All-Seeing Eye.
I'm a hacker who a few months ago gained access to your device, including your browser history and webcam.
I recorded some videos of you **** to highly controversial "adult" videos.
I doubt you'd want your family, coworkers, and your entire [scraped email address] - (your password for this mail on moment of hack : [scraped password]) contact list to see footage of you ****, especially considering how **** your favorite "genre".
I will also publish these videos on **** sites, they will go viral and it will be physically impossible to remove them from the Internet.

How did I do this?
Because of your disregard for internet security, I easily managed to install a Trojan on your hard disk.
Thanks to this, I was able to access all the data on your device and control it remotely.
By infecting one device, I was able to gain access to all the other devices.

My spyware is embedded in the drivers and updates its signature every few hours, so no antivirus or firewall can ever detect it.
Now I want to offer a deal: a small amount of money in exchange for your former worry free life.

Transfer $1250 USD to my bitcoin wallet: [bitcoin address]

As soon as I receive confirmation of the payment, I will delete all the videos that compromise you, remove the virus from all your devices and you will never hear from me again.
It's a very small price for not destroying your reputation in the eyes of others, who think that you are a decent man, according to your messengers.
You can think of me as some sort of life coach who wants you to start appreciating what you have.

You have 48 hours. I will receive a notification as soon as you open this email, and from this moment, the countdown will begin.
If you've never dealt with cryptocurrency before, it's very easy. Simply type "cryptocurrency exchange" into a search engine, and then all set.

Here's what you shouldn't do:
- Don't reply to my email. It was sent from a temporary email account.
- Don't call the police.
 Remember, I have access to all your devices, and as soon as I notice such activity, it will automatically lead to the publishing of all the videos.
- Don't try to reinstall your system or reset your device. First of all, I already have the videos,  and secondly, as I said, I have remote access to all your devices, and once I notice such an attempt, you know what happens.
 
Remember, crypto addresses are anonymous, so you won't be able to track down my wallet.

So long story short, let's resolve this situation with a benefit for me and you.
I always keep my word unless someone tries to trick me.

Lastly, a little advice for the future. Start taking your online security more seriously.
Change your passwords regularly and set up multi-factor authentication on all your accounts.

Best wishes.

FAQ on games, gaming & IT / OBS Recording/Stream Performance issues
« Last post by kat on October 31, 2024, 06:59:29 PM »
Problem
When using OBS to stream, and in particular record, video, performance can gradually degrade such that, on review of any recordings/archives, the frame-rate of captured video gradually decreases until only a single frame is displayed (audio may be okay) on playback e.g. 30 frames per second ends up as 1 frame per minute or more, video effectively being stuck on one frame.

Unfortunately the only indication there might be an issues during stream/recording is the generic "overloaded encoding" error that instructs the user to lower their bitrate or other quality settings. While doing this might help in the immediate to short-term, the degraded performance may persist, leading to a constant battle trying to get ahead of the problem.

Cause
Notwithstanding hardware issues, the likely culprit causing performance to degrade while streaming or recording with OBS, is Windows Real-time protection, which  is always running in the background by default - as OBS typically records extremely large files, new data that triggers a scan, Real-time protection stays active, persistently scanning for extended periods, as files are being generated. This consumes valuable resources and in doing so negatively impacts OBS in real-time (hardware conflicts can similarly trigger the Real-time protection system to remain active for extended periods, and if recording, this too will affect performance).

Solution
A temporary solution to this problem is to disable Real-time protection in Windows Security Virus & threat protection settings (system Settings). Here the option can be toggled OFF until it automatically restarts (on reboot or system start), or until re-enabled (there are a number of ways to disable Real-time protection but doing so for extended periods may cause system stability issues due to the way Windows security is embedded into the operating system). Once Real-time protection is disabled, streaming/recording should then be unaffected over extended periods.
