Subject: You have been hacked

Body: Hello ****, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account.

I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly.

Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I'm getting at.

It's been a few months since I installed it on all your dеviсеs because you were not quite choosy about what links to click on the intеrnеt. During this period, I've learned about all aspects of your private life, but оnе is of special significance to me.

I've recorded many videos of you **** to highly controversial роrn videos. Given that the "questionable" genre is almost always the same, I can conclude that you have sick реrvеrsiоn.

I doubt you'd want your friends, family and co-workers to know about it. However, I can do it in a few clicks.

Every number in your contact Iist will suddenly receive these vidеоs - on WhatsApp, on Telegram, on Instagram, on Facebook, on email - everywhere. It is going to be a tsunami that will sweep away everything in its path, and first of all, your fоrmеr life.

Don't think of yourself as an innocent victim. No one knows where your реrvеrsiоn might lead in the future, so consider this a kind of deserved рunishmеnt to stop you.

I'm some kind of God who sees everything. However, don't panic. As we know, God is merciful and forgiving, and so do I. But my mеrсy is not free.

Transfer 1300$ to my Litecoin (LTC) wallet: [bitcoin address]

Once I receive confirmation of the transaction, I will реrmanently delete all videos compromising you, uninstаll Pegasus from all of your devices, and disappear from your life. You can be sure - my benefit is only money. Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing to you, but destroy your life without a word in a second.

I'll be notified when you open my email, and from that moment you have exactly 48 hours to send the money. If cryptocurrencies are unchartered waters for you, don't worry, it's very simple. Just google "crypto exchange" or "buy Litecoin" and then it will be no harder than buying some useless stuff on Amazon.

I strongly warn you against the following:
* Do not reply to this email. I've sent it from your Microsoft account.
* Do not contact the police. I have access to all your dеviсеs, and as soon as I find out you ran to the cops, videos will be published.
* Don't try to reset or destroy your dеviсеs. As I mentioned above: I'm monitoring all your activity, so you either agree to my terms or the vidеоs are рublished.

Also, don't forget that cryptocurrencies are anonymous, so it's impossible to identify me using the provided аddrеss.

Good luck, my perverted friend. I hope this is the last time we hear from each other.
And some friendly advice: from now on, don't be so careless about your online security.

Subject: Leaked uncensored photos from your device are about to be shared to public.

Body: Greetings!

I am a professional hacker and you were under my observation for quite some time now.
Nowadays, it is not really hard to organize, mostly for IT enthusiast like me.

You may be wondering, how did I manage to spy on you?
Well, there are plenty of harmful websites out there and it turns out that you like to visit them during your free time.
As result, my spyware has downloaded to your device. This spyware detects all image-format files on iOS devices (HEIF, HEVC or JPEG) as well as Android (JPEG, JPG or HEIC) devices.

The most interesting part is that whenever you connect to WIFI or to mobile network (3G/4G+/H+/LTE),
all your photos get quietly synchronized in silent mode to my own cloud storage.

I have collected sufficient content in order to share to public your undisguised photos in social networks,
like Instagram or Facebook in a form of new posts or news, or via personal messages of WhatsApp Viber, Telegram etc.

Hence, even if you delete those photos from your device, I still have got a copy of them in my cloud, so you won't be able to delete them as well.

In order to avoid YOUR UNCENSORED HOT NEWS being shared to your contacts,
I can suggest a fair deal to you. This deal is valid within 72 hours.

Based on this deal, you need to transfer 1000 USD (in Bitcoin equivalent) to my bitcoin wallet and after that I will completely disappear from your life.

In event that you are still unaware about how to complete bitcoin funds transfer,
you can easily solve this issue by Googling "Buy Bitcoin with Credit Card or Debit Card" or something similar.

Besides that, there are plenty of P2P services that can transfer the required Bitcoin amount to my wallet in exchange for funds transfer from your bank card (Visa, MasterCard or Maestro).

Here is my Bitcoin address: [bitcoin address]

I really want to settle this situation in a peaceful manner and I believe you want that too.

Nothing personal, it is simply my job.
Make sure you use valid Antivirus software and stay away from unwanted websites.
Take care of yourself.

Subject: For your own safety, I highly recommend reading this email

Body: Hello,
You are in big trouble.
However, don't panic right away. Listen to me first, because there is always a way out.

You are now on the radar of an international group of hackers, and such things never end well for anyone.
I'm sure you've heard of Anonymous. Well, compared to us, they are a bunch of schoolboys.
We are a worldwide network of several thousand professionals, each with their own role.

Someone hacks corporate and government networks, someone cooperates with intelligence agencies on the most delicate tasks, and someone (including me) deals with people like you to maintain the infrastructure of our group.
"What kind of people like me?" - that is the question you are probably asking yourself now.

The answer is simple: people who like to watch highly controversial and, shall we say, unconventional **** on the internet that most normal people would consider perverted.
But not you!

In order to leave you without any doubts, I'll explain how I found it out.
Two months ago, my colleagues and I installed spyware software on your computer and then gained access to all of your devices, including your phone.
It was easy - one of those many pop-ups on **** sites was our work.

I think you already understand that we would not write to an ordinary man who watches "vanilla" and even **** **** - there is nothing special about that.
But the things you're watching are beyond good and evil.
So after accessing your phone and computer cameras, we recorded you **** to extremely controversial videos.
There is a close-up footage of you and a little square on the right with the videos you're ****.
However, as I said earlier, there is always a way out, because even the most degraded sinner deserves leniency.
You are lucky today because I am not a sadist who enjoys other people's suffering.
Only money matters to me.

Here is your salvation: you must transfer $1300 in Bitcoin to this BTC cryptocurrency wallet: [bitcoin address]

You have exactly 48 hours to make the payment, so think less, and do more.
As soon as I receive confirmation of the transaction, I will delete all compromising content and permanently disable our computer worm.
Believe me, I always abide by gentleman's agreements. Even with people who are hardly gentlemen. Because it's nothing personal, just business.

If I do not receive a payment, I will send all videos of you to every person in your contact list, messengers and email.
Relatives, loved ones, colleagues, friends-everyone you've ever been in contact with will receive them.
You understand perfectly well that you will never be able to wash this stain on your reputation.
Everyone will remember you as sick as ****.
Your life will be completely ruined, and, most likely, only a tightened noose around your neck will be able to save the day.

If you haven't dealt with crypto before, I suppose it won't be difficult for you to figure it all out.
Simply type in the "crypto exchange" into the search bar and pay with a credit card. Besides, based on your browser history, you are a savvy user.
When you want to, you can dig into the darkest depths of the Internet, so I'm sure you will be able to find out what is what.

Here is what my colleagues and I should warn you against:
...Do not reply to this email. Do you really think we are so stupid to be tracked by an email address? This is a temporary disposable email.
 As soon as I clicked "Send", it was gone for good.
...Forget about law-enforcement authorities. As soon as I see that you are trying to contact them, the compromising material will be published.
 Remember, I have access to all your devices, and I can even track your movements.
...Do not reset your devices to factory settings and do not try to get rid of your devices.
 It won't help in any way. Look above - my All-seeing eye is watching all your actions. It is easy to hunt you down.

I am sorry that we met in such circumstances. Probably, everything could be different if you had been more careful about what you are doing on the Internet.
Watch yourself from now on, because even such things that you previously considered insignificant can destroy your life in the future like a butterfly effect.
I hope this is goodbye forever. However, it depends on you.

P.S. The countdown is on. The choice is yours.

Blog / SCAM: ICANN Request for verifying '[domain]' user(s)
« Last post by kat on September 03, 2024, 10:07:05 AM »
Another campaign to watch out is the ICANN verification email scam.

Here, scammers send an official looking notice to a scraped email address linking to what appear to be an official ICANN URL, complete with 'generated verification code'.

As with all scams the official looking URL cloaks the real URL link to the scammer which, subject to email client being used, should be revealed by simply moving the mouse over the messaged URL to display the actual, disguised link. It won't point to icann.org, so the email can be deleted.

IMPORTANT: as a general rule of thumb, registrant information (domain owner information) is filed and submitted by the entity through which a given domain name is registered, and not through the ICANN directly, e.g. GoDaddy. For more on checking domain registration data see "Information for Domain Name Registrants".

Quote
Dear domain name owner,

*Your action is required to prevent domain suspension*

This verification request is triggered as your e-mail address "[scraped email address]" was used in the owner contact on your domain "katsbits.com" registration. Your e-mail address was not verified before and because we have received information that this e-mail address might not be in use anymore.

The domain name registration policy of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) requires that a valid and working e-mail address is provided with each domain registration.

To verify this requirement, we kindly request you confirm the validity of your e-mail address by following the prompt below;

https;//icann-verification.registrar.us/?email=[scraped email address]&authCode=[legitimate looking auth code]

If you do not confirm the validity of your e-mail address, all e-mail user(s) associated with this domain name may be suspended and can only be re-activated once the verification is completed.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

ICANN Registrar
