I have a lake house near Osage Beach, my boat is currently broken and all of the large company mechanics are scheduled out until next week, this might be a long shot but would any more local mechanic to that area of Missouri be willing to come out and try to fix my boat. Willing to pay generously for your time and effort. Let me know if anyone is interested.
Here is the text from the email, should I be genuinely concerned or what precautionary steps can I take? I am obviously not going to pay it.
Hello,
We are the NordFoxes hacking group.
We've known each other for a while, at least, we know you.
A few months ago, we gained access to your devices and started monitoring your online activities.
What happened:
We have gained access to a database in which you have an account and easily accessed your email.
You weren't very careful about the links you opened.
A week later, we installed an exploit on your devices, including your phone, giving us access to your microphone, camera, keyboard, and all your data.
We have your photos, browsing history, conversations, and contact list.
Among other things, we discovered that you frequently visit adult websites and watch explicit videos.
We managed to record you and created videos of you pleasuring yourself.
With a few clicks, we can share these videos with your friends, colleagues, and family or even make them public.
Proposal:
Send us $2000 in Bitcoin to the following wallet:
bc1qf7079w8f9jq99unau7jglfkpm9cwflvtr020eu
We'll delete everything immediately.
You have 48 hours from the moment you open this email.
Once the payment is received, we'll remove the malware from your devices.
What you should NOT do:
Do not reply (email was sent from a hacked account).
Do not contact the police or anyone else â we'll release the videos along with other stuff all over the internet.
Do not try to reset your devices - everything is stored on remote servers.
What you don't need to worry about:
We will see your payment immediately - the wallet is generated specifically for you.
We will not share your videos or other things after paymentâthere is no reason to continue causing problems.
Don't play with us!
