- The message sent to the reporter is a classic example of sex writing.
- The message demanded ransom and threatened secretly by publishing masturbation videos.
- According to the expert, the recipient of such a message has no cause for concern.
Hi, pervo. I’ve sent this message from your Microsoft account. I want to announce that you are in bad broth. However, you can benefit from the situation if you work smartly.
The English message that arrived in the Iltalehti journalist’s email must be stopped. Threatening without a direct threat. In addition, the message seems to have come from the supplier’s own email address. How is it possible and what can be about? You have to go further.
Have you heard of the Pegasus espionage program? It allows hackers to monitor the operation of a computer or phone owner. It gives you access to a webcam, message services, email, call information and so on. You probably guess what I am trying to do.
The email sender announces that he has installed the Pegasus app on the recipient’s devices months earlier.
You haven’t been a particularly Ronkel when you click on links online. During these months, I have learned one of your private life, but one thing is particularly important to me.
The sender claims to have filmed numerous videos in which the recipient masturbates for “very controversial” porn videos.
Because the questionable category is almost always the same, I have concluded that you have a sick perversion. You probably don’t want your friends, family and colleagues to know about it. However, I can do it with a few clicks.
The sender says he will distribute the material to the recipient’s contact information on all communication and somme platforms. He stumbles upon how this means the end of the recipient’s life so far.
Don’t consider yourself a innocent victim. No one can know where your perversion is still leading, so consider this as a deserved punishment.
The sender says he considers himself a state of all the all -like God.
However, do not panic. As we know, God is merciful and forgive. So do I. However, my grace does not come for free.
The price of grace? A $ 1,600 transfer to the sender’s litecoin cryptol.
When I get a payment confirmation, I permanently remove all the pregnant videos of you, remove Pegasus from your devices and disappear from your life. You can be sure that I will not pursue as economic benefits. Otherwise, I would have destroyed your life without saying a word.
The sender warns the consequences if the recipient is in contact with the authorities and says he will immediately lead to the publication of the videos.
Congratulations on the trip, pervo my friend. I hope this is the last time we hear about each other. Friendly Tip: In the future, don’t be so careless about your security online.
Notifications at least weekly
Security Specialist at the Cyber Security Center, which operates under the Transport and Communications Agency, Samuli Könönen tells Iltalehti that the recipient of such a message does not have to worry at all.
– The messages are not true, but scary threats try to make the victim believe the message’s claims. These tightening messages are sent to very large numbers of recipients in the hope that some of them believe it and pay the required ransom. The message can be deleted and the sender prevents, Könönen advises.
– The required ransom will not be paid, he underlines.
Such scams are known as sex tensioning or as a.
– Messages are really easy to make and send recipients to large quantities. We will receive similar notifications at least weekly, he says.
According to Könönen, a message received by Iltalehti reporter, the message seems to be a very typical scam type representative.
– The threatening language and intimate subject, as well as the long reasoning why the victim has no alternatives other than paying ransom is a common way to try to intimidate the victim.
Criminals rely on the mass
According to Könönen, the way sex writers once selected their victims cannot be said with certainty. However, it is likely that they use email lists made up of public sources on the Internet. For example, organizations’ public contact pages contain large amounts of email addresses.
– The criminals automatically collect these and create lists to which the scam messages are sent massively. They do not choose their potential victims very closely, but trust the mass, says Könönen.
The recipient’s own email address as the sender of the message is just a trick. The sender’s actual email address is something completely different, but even finding it would not necessarily tell the author,
– Criminals only create a number of emails they use short -term for these scams, says Könönen.
