Gurus please help, I got the mail below in my inbox. I don't really know what to do please help "Hello there I am a hacker who broke your email and device a few months ago. You entered your password on one of the websites you visited, and I intercepted this. This is your security password from ollysteve1200@gmail.com on moment of compromise:........ (the password to my laptop was quoted here) No doubt you can can change it, or already changed it. However this would not really matter, my personal malicious software modifie‌ ;d it each and every time. Do not necessarily consider to get in touch with me personally or even find me, it is impossible, since I sent you email from your account. Via your own e-mail, I uploaded malware computer code to your Operation System. I saved all your contacts together with buddies, co-workers, family members plus a total record of visits to the Online resources. As well I installed a Malware on your device. You're not my only victim, I usually lock desktops and ask for the ransom. Nonetheless I ended up being hit by the internet sites of romantic material that you normally check out. I am in shock of your own fantasies! I've certainly not observed anything like this! Thus, when you had fun on piquant web sites (you know what I am talking about!) I created screen shot with using my program from your camera of yours device. Following that, I combined them to the content of the particular currently seen site. Now there will certainly be giggling when I send these photographs to your acquaintances! BUT I am sure you do not need it. Therefore, I expect to have payment from you with regard to my silence. I believe $1019 is an satisfactory price with regard to this! Pay with Bitcoin. My Bitcoin wallet is 16xefvbSsv8uFvTxQpbpVEdYaVALzXPGue In case you do not know how to do this - type in to Google 'how to transfer money to a bitcoin wallet'. It is simple. Right after receiving the specified amount, all your files will be right away eliminated automatically. My pc virus will also get rid of itself out of your operating-system. My Computer virus possess auto alert, so I know when this particular email is read. I give you 2 days (Forty eight hours) to make a payment. If this does not happen - every your contacts will certainly get ridiculous photographs from your darker secret life and your device will be blocked as well after two days. Do not end up being silly! Police or pals won't aid you for sure ... P.S I can offer you advice with regard to the future. Do not type in your passwords on unsafe web pages. I expect for your wisdom. Bon voyage." I await your kind suggestions on what to do, as the password the hacker quoted is the correct password for my pc 1 Like |

Lol...Ignore the message, its nothing. It's only scary because it seems the sender actually sent u that message from ur own email. But its a simple trick that hackers usually use...gimme ur mail and I can send same to u and it will actually look like I logged in ur mail and sent that message. Ignore it bro |

Cyberleets:Ignore it after his "laptop password" was quoted? That's a ransomware attack @op here's a solution I found on the web ".....Reboot Windows 10 to safe mode Install antimalware software Scan the system to find the ransomware program Restore the computer to a previous state But here's the important thing to keep in mind: while walking through these steps can remove the malware from your computer and restore it to your control, it won't decrypt your files. Their transformation into unreadability has already happened, and if the malware is at all sophisticated, it will be mathematically impossible for anyone to decrypt them without access to the key that the attacker holds. In fact, by removing the malware, you've precluded the possibility of restoring your files by paying the attackers the ransom they've asked for." |

philip0906: Bro I can authoritatively tell u that the password that was quoted was not his password. He is just too scared... I have recieved tons of this email...and am also in the game so there is no need for him to panic We basically use this technique for company workers, we send mail from the exact company mail to their workers and and unlike Gmail, this mail gets delivered to their inbox instead of spam folder. Now some hackers are targeting normal users...and funny thing is, Gmail usually dumps it in spam folder..who get scared of stuff in spam folder? Modified: This stuff is done with a simple python program..there is no malware or whatever...the hacker also gave me 6 days to pay the Bitcoin...that's like 2 months ago  Noobs everywhere SMFH |

Cyberleets:Here's what the OP said; This is your security password from ollysteve1200@gmail.com on moment of compromise:....... (the password to my laptop was quoted hereExcept of course the OP does not know what he's saying...aside that, it's legit a ransomware attack |
| Re: Urgent Help - The Secure Of Email And Laptop Has Been Compromised by Cyberleets: 7:56am On Dec 28, 2018 |
philip0906:I would have showed u my own mail but gmail deletes spam mails older than one month.. They quoted a password for me too...but I have never seen that password once. Like I said, gimme ur mail and I will send same thing to u right now!, and it wil look as if it came from ur won mail |
| Re: Urgent Help - The Secure Of Email And Laptop Has Been Compromised by philip0906(m): 8:00am On Dec 28, 2018 |
Cyberleets:I get what you're saying...I receive such emails too in my spam folder. But in this case, the poster says his laptop password was quoted in the email. And I hinged all my argument around that. Not even the other email content. Like I said already, except the OP does not know his laptop password then your submission is very much legit. |

philip0906: Here the mail from my other account... If op is using Windows 8, then no way malware will get into his pc if Windows defender is activated..even the famous wannacry ransomewarem Windows defender has updated their security to accommodate that stuff

You can't pay that money, so, reply him this: [b]Hi, I need to know if are a real hacker or if the information you claim to have is genuine or even worth my time. Send a video recording of my face and how it is related to the sites I visited. There is no way I am going to pay for a baseless and unsubstantiated blackmail. I can't pay that much, neither can I pay it in 2 days. However, you need to determine whether what I will pay you is worth your life. Here is a little assignment for you too. Google "African black magic/voodoo/juju." It is stronger than any blockchain technology and it doesn't even need the internet to get to you. I can make you run mad and I don't even need to know your name. Your family can't cure it in a medical facility because it's a spiritual attack. Second assignment, Google "Nigerian scammers." Ever wondered why a white man will wire his life savings to a Nigerian scammer? It's the voodoo Son, not some brain work. Have a nice day. Don't forget. 1. Substantiate your claim. 2. I shall negotiate how much I can pay and when I can pay. But I swear by the gods of my ancestors, Amadioha (Google this), you will run mad before 7 market days. I am not a muslim or Christian, I don't forgive. [/b] Make sure you attach some fetish pictures and blood-dripping pictures, and caption them appropriately. U need to even ascertain if the information he has can any damage in the first place. |

philip0906: Thank,I will follow the steps. Though I have windows 8 on the system |

The password is the same password I used for my PC except that the hacker used lower case in all and in d real sense one of the letters is in upper case. Though I also use the same password on one or two sites online |

Cyberleets: Same format |
