==FIRST MAIL WITH OTHER NAME==

====================================


I know, ******, is your password. You don't know me and you're thinking why you received this e mail, right?

Well, I actually placed a malware on the porn website and guess what, you visited this web site to have fun you know what I mean. While you were watching the video, your web browser acted as a RDP Remote Desktop and a keylogger which provided me access to your display screen and webcam. Right after that, my software gathered all your contacts from your Messenger, Facebook account, and email account.

What exactly did I do?

I made a split-screen video. First part recorded the video you were viewing you've got a fine taste haha, and next part recorded your webcam Yep! It's you doing nasty things!.

What should you do?

Well, I believe, $1900 is a fair price for our little secret. You'll make the payment via Bitcoin to the below address if you don't know this, search "how to buy bitcoin" in Google.

BTC Address:
bc1qadmtr0hasjw2ejrdudpk4p09f9llsu533gthr3
It is cAsE sensitive, so copy and paste it

Important:

You have 24 hours in order to make the payment. I have an unique pixel within this email message, and right now I know that you have read this email. If I don't get the payment, I will send your video to all of your contacts including relatives, coworkers, and so forth. Nonetheless, if I do get paid, I will erase the video immidiately. If you want evidence, reply with "Yes!" and I will send your video recording to your 5 friends. This is a non-negotiable offer, so don't waste my time and yours by replying to this email.

==SECOND MAIL WITH OTHER NAME==

This mail has been send by: Marcello Oleski probably fake name

The nonsense mail that he send me:

====================================

I'm aware, ******, is your password.

I need your full attention for the coming 24 hrs, or I will make sure you that you live out of shame for the rest of your lifetime.

Hello there, you don't know me. But I know nearly anything about you. Your entire fb contact list, smartphone contacts and all the digital activity on your computer from past 135 days.

Which includes, your masturbation video footage, which brings me to the primary reason why I 'm writing this mail to you.

Well the previous time you went to see the sexually graphic webpages, my malware was activated inside your pc which ended up shooting a eye-catching footage of your masturbation play by activating your web camera.
you got a really unusual preference btw lmfao

I own the full recording. If, perhaps you feel I 'm fooling around, just reply proof and I will be forwarding the particular recording randomly to 6 people you're friends with.

It may be your friend, co workers, boss, parents I'm not sure! My software program will randomly choose the contacts.

Will you be able to look into anyone's eyes again after it? I question it...

However, it does not need to be that route.

I want to make you a 1 time, non negotiable offer.

Get $ 2000 in bitcoin and send it to the below address:

bc1***qxjp6sg5sfx86l79vjl8g39prrycycvpzsrq0sr
[case sensitive, copy & paste it, and remove *** from it]

If you don't know how, google how to acquire bitcoin. Do not waste my important time

If you send this particular 'donation' we will call it that?. Immediately after that, I will go away and never get in touch with you again. I will erase everything I've got about you. You may very well proceed living your current regular day to day lifestyle with absolutely no concern.

You've got 1 day in order to do so. Your time begins as quickly you read through this e-mail. I have got an special code that will alert me once you read this e-mail therefore don't try to act smart.

NVIDIA Forums Hack: Passwords Not Salted

After having a few friends get their email accounts hacked I started using 16-32 character passwords. I know that they are still vulnerable but the hope is they are harder to crack than lazier people. Kind of like the expression about 2 people and a bear, "I don't have to run faster than the bear, just faster than you".

If you want a totally random password then I'd suggest using PCTools Secure Password Generator.

Epic Games Forums Hacked; Over 800,000 Passwords Stolen

What they are really saying is : they stole the user database but we don't store passwords, we store password hashes ... emails will be added to all global spam lists though.

 

77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

Ironically I've had the same crappy password since I made my Steam when HL2 came out and never been hacked, but I've had my Origin account jacked twice with a much more complicated password. 2 step on Origin fixed this problem, but just thought it was kind of funny. I went with 2 step on Steam to be safe too.
