This Space for Rent

Nice try

The occasional “I’ve hacked your account” spam messages are getting more elaborate, and more unconvincing. (Ooooh, they can forge the From: address on mail. Gosh, nobody in the entire world has ever done sendmail -f before) – this one doesn’t even deserve a mocking “bring it on” reply.

Hello orc@

My nickname in darknet is solomon99. I’ll begin by saying that I hacked this mailbox (please look on ‘from’ in your header more than six months ago, through it I infected your operating system with a virus (trojan) created by me and have been monitoring you for a long time.

Even if you changed the password after that - it does not matter, my virus intercepted all the caching data on your computer and automatically saved access for me.

I have access to all your accounts, social networks, email, browsing history. Accordingly, I have the data of all your contacts, files from your computer, photos and videos.

I was most struck by the intimate content sites that you occasionally visit. You have a very wild imagination, I tell you!

During your pastime and entertainment there, I took screenshot through the camera of your device, synchronizing with what you are watching. Oh my god! You are so funny and excited!

I think that you do not want all your contacts to get these files, right? If you are of the same opinion, then I think that $500 is quite a fair price to destroy the dirt I created.

Send the above amount on my bitcoin wallet: ********************* As soon as the above amount is received, I guarantee that the data will be deleted, I do not need it.

Otherwise, these files and history of visiting sites will get all your contacts from your device. Also, I’ll send to everyone your contact access to your email and access logs, I have carefully saved it!

Since reading this letter you have 48 hours! After your reading this message, I’ll receive an automatic notification that you have seen the letter.

I hope I taught you a good lesson. Do not be so nonchalant, please visit only to proven resources, and don’t enter your passwords anywhere!

(But look on the bright side, babe – with this level of overly confident incoherence I’m sure you can get a great position in the propaganda department of the fascists who took over the US government.)
