"Good luck!"?

Notwithstanding these blackmail, sextortion and sexploitation emails are completely fake, it's always weirdly interesting seeing them signed off with a "Good luck!" like they're doing the victim of their scams and blackmail a favour.

Were these emails real, what degree of "luck" would the victim need in dealing with blackmail and scams? "Lucky it wasn't worse"? "lucky I didn't already leaked your content", "lucky I didn't come visit you in the night"?

Bro, you're "lucky" you're on the other side of the world!

QuoteSubject: Your personal data has leaked due to suspected harmful activities.

Body: Hi there! I am a professional hacker and have successfully managed to hack your operating system. Currently I have gained full access to your account. In addition, I was secretly monitoring all your activities and watching you for several months. The thing is your computer was infected with harmful spyware due to the fact that you had visited a website with **** content previously. **** Let me explain to you what that entails. Thanks to Trojan viruses, I can gain complete access to your computer or any other device that you own. It means that I can see absolutely everything in your screen and switch on the camera as well as microphone at any point of time without your permission. In addition, I can also access and see your confidential information as well as your emails and chat messages. You may be wondering why your antivirus cannot detect my malicious software. Let me break it down for you: I am using harmful software that is driver-based, which refreshes its signatures on 4-hourly basis, hence your antivirus is unable to detect it presence. I have made a video compilation, which shows on the left side the scenes of you happily ****, while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment..ᵔ.ᵔ All I need is just to share this video to all email addresses and messenger contacts of people you are in communication with on your device or PC. Furthermore, I can also make public all your emails and chat history. I believe you would definitely want to avoid this from happening. Here is what you need to do - transfer the Bitcoin equivalent of 850 USD to my Bitcoin account (that is rather a simple process, which you can check out online in case if you don't know how to do that). Below is my bitcoin account information (Bitcoin wallet): [bitcoin address] Once the required amount is transferred to my account, I will proceed with deleting all those videos and disappear from your life once and for all. Kindly ensure you complete the abovementioned transfer within 50 hours (2 days +). I will receive a notification right after you open this email, hence the countdown will start. Trust me, I am very careful, calculative and never make mistakes. If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will straight away proceed with making your private videos public. Good luck!

QuoteSubject: Delivery Status Notification

Body: Hi there!

I regret to inform you about some sad news for you.
Approximately a month or two ago I have succeeded to gain a total access to all your devices utilized for browsing internet.
Moving forward, I have started observing your internet activities on continuous basis.

Go ahead and take a look at the sequence of events provided below for your reference:
Initially I bought an exclusive access from hackers to a long list of email accounts (in today's world, that is really a common thing, which can arranged via internet).
Evidently, it wasn't hard for me to proceed with logging in your email account ([scraped email]).

Within the same week, I moved on with installing a Trojan virus in Operating Systems for all devices that you use to login to email.
Frankly speaking, it wasn't a challenging task for me at all (since you were kind enough to click some of the links in your inbox emails before).
Yeah, geniuses are among us.

Because of this Trojan I am able to gain access to entire set of controllers in devices (e.g., your video camera, keyboard, microphone and others).
As result, I effortlessly downloaded all data, as well as photos, web browsing history and other types of data to my servers.
Moreover, I have access to all social networks accounts that you regularly use, including emails, including chat history, messengers, contacts list etc.
My unique virus is incessantly refreshing its signatures (due to control by a driver), and hence remains undetected by any type of antiviruses.

Hence, I guess by now you can already see the reason why I always remained undetected until this very letter...

During the process of compilation of all the materials associated with you, I also noticed that you are a huge supporter and regular user of websites hosting nasty adult content.
Turns out to be, you really love visiting **** websites, as well as watching exciting videos and enduring unforgettable pleasures.
As a matter of fact, I was not able to withstand the temptation, but to record certain nasty solo action with you in main role, and later produced a few videos exposing your **** and **** scenes.

If until now you don't believe me, all I need is one-two mouse clicks to make all those videos with everyone you know, including your friends, colleagues, relatives and others.
Moreover, I am able to upload all that video content online for everyone to see.
I sincerely think, you certainly would not wish such incidents to take place, in view of the lustful things demonstrated in your commonly watched videos, (you absolutely know what I mean by that) it will cause a huge adversity for you.

There is still a solution to this matter, and here is what you need to do:
You make a transaction of $1490 USD to my account (an equivalent in bitcoins, which recorded depending on the exchange rate at the date of funds transfer), hence upon receiving the transfer, I will immediately get rid of all those lustful videos without delay.
After that we can make it look like there was nothing happening beforehand.
Additionally, I can confirm that all the Trojan software is going to be disabled and erased from all devices that you use. You have nothing to worry about, because I keep my word at all times.

That is indeed a beneficial bargain that comes with a relatively reduced price, taking into consideration that your profile and traffic were under close monitoring during a long time frame.
If you are still unclear regarding how to buy and perform transactions with bitcoins - everything is available online.

Below is my bitcoin wallet for your further reference: [bitcoin address]

All you have is 48 hours and the countdown begins once this email is opened (in other words 2 days).

The following list includes things you should remember and avoid doing:
> There's no point to try replying my email (since this email and return address were created inside your inbox).
> There's no point in calling police or any other types of security services either. Furthermore, don't you dare sharing this info with any of your friends.
If I discover that (taking into consideration my skills, it will be really simple, because I control all your systems and continuously monitor them) -  your nasty clip will be shared with public straight away.
> There's no point in looking for me too - it won't result in any success. Transactions with cryptocurrency are completely anonymous and untraceable.
> There's no point in reinstalling your OS on devices or trying to throw
> them away. That won't solve the issue,
since all clips with you as main character are already uploaded on remote servers.

Things that may be concerning you:
> That funds transfer won't be delivered to me.
Breathe out, I can track down everything right away, so once funds transfer is finished,  I will know for sure, since I interminably track down all activities done by you (my Trojan virus controls all processes remotely, just as TeamViewer).
> That your videos will be distributed, even though you have completed money transfer to my wallet.
Trust me, it is worthless for me to still bother you after money transfer is successful. Moreover, if that was ever part of my plan, I would do make it happen way earlier!

We are going to approach and deal with it in a clear manner!

In conclusion, I'd like to recommend one more thing... after this you need to make certain you don't get involved in similar kind of unpleasant events anymore!
My recommendation - ensure all your passwords are replaced with new ones on a regular basis.

Problem

After import and placement of FBX meshes into a Scene in Godot Editor, a problem may be encountered when trying to save the project, either File » Save Scene or File » Save Scene As..., resulting in the following Alert message appearing;

Couldn't save scene. Likely dependencies (instances or inheritance) couldn't be satisfied.
Looking through the FileSystem panel, nothing seems out of the ordinary, meshes, materials, textures and other assets appear correctly (no special characters in files names etc.). Meshes can also be dropped into the Scene without issue (but may exhibit material appearance incongruities), scaled, manipulated or otherwise modified as objects. When selected however, the Inspector panel may display limited options, typically just position, scale and a few others, instead of the full set that includes Geometry, Skeleton and more.

Fix

To fix the problem, select individual meshes in the FileSystem, then in the Import panel ensure the Import As: property is set to Single Mesh. Click Reimport after making the change - meshes/object may need to be deleted and placed back in the scene.

This check/change needs to be performed on each imported FBX, or other model format (OBJ, glTF etc.), brought into Godot Editor.

Why does this happen

When Godot (v. 4.x series) imports FBX assets it defaults to setting Import As: in the Import panel to Scene, causing the incoming FBX be interpreted as Scene objects, an entity that ordinarily contains other objects and entities. When then attempting to save the project, Godot fails because its essentially attempting to save a Scene within a Scene - its trying to parse an invalid hierarchical, or improper dependency/inheritance structure - a scene within a scene recursion - resulting in failed saving and the Alert error.

If Roblox Player keeps automatically starting after booting into Windows when it shouldn't be, it's possible to disable this in two places;

• Windows Start Up
• Roblox Device Preferences

Window Startup

To disable Windows itself (re)starting Roblox Player when the computer boots into Windows;

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc (or right-click the Task Bar) to open Task Manager, then;
  - Click the Startup Apps menu option on the left.
  - In the page that opens, find RobloxPlayerBeta.exe (or latterly RobloxPlayer.exe).
  - Select to highlight and click the Disable button in the header.

Note that RobloxPlayerBeta.exe may also be associated with XboxPCTray.exe.

Roblox Device Preferences

To disable Roblox itself from (re)starting when Windows boots;

Open Roblox Player, then;
- Click the ••• More menu option on the left.
- Click Settings, then Device Preferences.
- Scroll down, click Launch as startup to deactivate (slider to the left).

Disabling Launch at startup physically removes the RobloxPlayerBeta.exe from the Task Manager's list of Startup item so it won't appear even if manually disabled in Task Manager.

Why has Wikipedia's reputation taken such a nose dive? Well, aside from all the politically motivated shenanigans that go on behind the scenes, it's the fact that pages, placement, even 'reputation' and 'authority', can be purchased, basically Wikipedia Reputation Farming for SEO 101.

While Wikipedia asserts they actively clear out this wikislop, much of it remains in place because they're carefully crafted enough to avoid the Eye of Wikipedia falling upon them, and remain truthful to submission guidelines.

The WikiSEO scammers don't care either way, they get their $100 bucks for publishing an AI generated reputation laundering boilerplate (note the em dash) that'll end up doing more brand damage when the "this page has been removed" error appears on searching the interwebs.

$90 to ruin a reputation indeed.
