Text example


I have bad news for you.
July 23, 2019-On this day, I hacked your operating system and had full access to your account (~ email address ~).

How was it:
There was a vulnerability in the software of the router that was connected that day.
I first hacked this router and put malicious code on it.
When connected to the internet, my Trojan was installed in the operating system of your device.

After that, I have saved the complete data on your disk (I have all your address book, site browsing history, all files, phone numbers, addresses of all your contacts).


I wanted to lock your device. I wanted money to unlock it.
But I saw the sites you visit regularly, and was shocked by your favorite resources.
I'm talking about a site for adults.

I say-you are a big pervert. Infinite fantasy!

Then the idea came to my mind.
I made a screenshot of an intimate website that you enjoy (I'm talking about your pleasure, do you understand?).
Then I made a photo of your pleasure (using your device's camera). Everything was great!

I strongly believe that you don't want to show this photo to your relatives, friends or colleagues.
I think $ 805 is very small for my silence.
And I spent a lot of time on you!

I accept only Bitcoins.

My BTC wallet: *****************************

Don't know how to refill Bitcoin wallet?
For all search engines, write "How to send money to btc wallet".
It's easier than sending money to a credit card!

If you pay, we will provide you with more than 2 days (exactly 50 hours).
Don't worry, the timer starts the moment you open this letter. Yes, yes. It has already begun!

After payment, my virus and dirty photos will be self-destructed automatically.
If I do not receive the specified amount from you, your device will be blocked and all your contacts will receive your "joy" and photos.

I hope you are wise.
-Don't try to find and destroy my virus! (All data is already uploaded to the remote server)-Do not try to contact me (this is not feasible, I sent an email from your account)
-Various security services will not help you. Since your data is already on the remote server, formatting the disk or destroying the device will not help.

P.S. I guarantee that you will not disturb you again after payment.
This is the code of honor for hackers.

From now on, we recommend using good antivirus and updating it regularly (several times a day)!

Don't get mad at me, everyone is doing their job.
