You don't read the other comments before giving your answer?  No one came and said "Yes, something happened, I’m humiliated" or any other nonsense... So no, nothing ever happened...

Hello, No worries! As explained by ZATAZ in an article from Wednesday, there is no risk. However, it shows that some people paid :( https://www.zataz.com/retour-du-chantage-par-mail-je-vous-vois-a-poil/

vicd · Answer

Hello,  I almost fell for it; I received this email at 12:35 today while my PC was not on. It's well done except that upon rereading the email, well no, I do not masturbate in front of porn movies on my PC! And it comes from a site called ebuyclub that does cashback:  Hello, dear user of ebuyclub.com. We have installed a RAT software on your device. For now, your email account is hacked (see for , I now have access to your accounts). I have downloaded all your confidential information from your system and obtained additional evidence. The most interesting thing I discovered is that of the video recordings of your masturbation.  I posted my virus on a porn site, then you installed it on your operating system. When you clicked the Play button on the porn video, at that moment, my Trojan was downloaded to your device. After installation, your front camera records a video every time you masturbate. Moreover, the software is synchronized with the video of your choice.  For now, the software has collected all your contact information on social networks and email addresses. If you want to delete all your collected data, send me $250 in BTC (cryptocurrency). This is my Bitcoin wallet: 18firbfmx4KoNeM4cBhcDdXgp2Aiduo43G You have 2 days after reading this letter.  After your transaction, I will delete all your data. Otherwise, I will send a video of your antics to all your colleagues and friends!!!  And from now on, be more careful! Only visit secure sites! Goodbye!

Basile · Answer

Usually, this kind of email makes me laugh ("OMG, this guy watches porn! How embarrassing!"). But the thing that stresses me out about this email is the email address. How the hell is it possible that this naughty rascal sends an email from our own account with just a bluff? I checked thirty times: it's not a disguised email but the one and only real email in question.  How is this technically possible? That's what scares me (a little).

Hello It's easy to specify what we want in the sender's email, so replicating the recipient's email is just a writing exercise  However, when displaying the details of the headers of the 2 received emails, I get the IPs: 102.158.51.71 and 151.70.83.170  A tracert of the first IP shows that it goes through Italy, then Tunisia, then ... with 99 hops and no details (request timeout exceeded)  The second goes through London and arrives in 10 hops These IPs are registered as sources of spam [151.70.83.170 listed in zen.spamhaus.org] 151.70.83.170 listed in bl.score.senderscore.com Delivered to internal network by a host with no rDNS

Malekal_morte- · Answer

New version.  The subject of the email is: security alert.  As you can imagine, your account xxxx@xxxxx.com has been hacked, since I wrote this message on its behalf.  I represent a well-known international hacking group. From 23.07.2018 to 15.09.2018, you were infected by a virus we created through the adult website you visited. At this moment, we have access to all your correspondence, social networks and messaging services. Moreover, we have complete dumps of this information.  We are aware of your “little and big secrets,” yes, yes... You have a whole secret life. We have seen and recorded how you have fun on adult websites. God, what taste and what suffering you have...  But the most interesting thing is that we have regularly included you on your device's webcam. The webcam has been synced with what you just saw! I think you do not want your friends and family to see all your secrets and, of course, the person closest to you.  Transfer $300 to our Bitcoin Wallet: 16acVRG2RdMDSmdVuve1N1bYBFu8Rr3iii I guarantee that we will then delete all your secrets!  From the moment this letter is read, the timer is ticking! You have 48 hours to pay the aforementioned amount.  Once the money is in our account, your data will be immediately destroyed! If the money does not arrive, all your correspondence and videos that we receive will be automatically sent to all available contacts on your device at the time of infection!  Unfortunately, you need to think about your safety! We hope this story teaches you to keep your secrets straight! Take care!

Zizou · Answer

I’m asking everyone, since I am also a victim this morning, has anyone had any bad consequences from ignoring all of this? Does this email concern both usage on PC and internet on smartphones as well? Thank you anyway, I feel much calmer having read all these exchanges even if it still remains... very strange.

Hello everyone :)  Well, like everyone here, I just received one of those emails :( And while all your comments reassure me a bit, I still have a question about the passage: "I have your password, no need to change it because I have installed a program that updates it in my database too"... Is that possible? :/ I've spent the last few weeks changing my passwords everywhere and the one the guy claims to have isn't even up to date, so I don't understand anything ^^" Can I change my password again or not?

Hello. They cannot record you without your knowledge through an Apple camera? How can I know if I am infected on an iPhone when watching a video? It's concerning.

samdemoorea · Answer

Received today:  csims <***@***> Tue 22/01/2019, 17:17  Hi While you were looking at my website, your browser got infected. Currently, we have a video recording via your webcam while you are masturbating. Additionally, we have downloaded all your emails from your email and some files from your software using a masked RDP connection, but I haven't looked at them yet... Maybe I will find more compromising documents about you. I will send all your compromising documents to all your email contacts from your mailbox and your private networks. However, if you pay 20 LiteCoin for my silence, all your intimate entertainment will remain between us and will be deleted. For more payment details, reply to this message and the system will give you the payment details. You can beg me, threaten me, the email will not be reviewed by me. Otherwise, if I do not receive payment from you, all your compromising materials will be revealed everywhere. I give you 24 hours to make the payment, after you click on this message. There is no other solution. This email address is used to transmit a message and receive a read notification of my letter. After replying to this email, you will mechanically receive payment instructions. Be wise )

alize_9722 · Answer

Received the same email claiming to have hacked all my data, emails, porn videos, etc. this morning... took a screenshot for possible police complaint (but which is not justified considering everything I've just read on the forum and your responses). I deleted the email, blocked the sender with return to sender. It's still reassuring to know that all this is fake and that it should be disregarded. Thank you for your information.

Unepersonneenpanique · Answer

Hello,  I received a message last night that was similar in content to those mentioned earlier, but not in form, and where the sender's name (in bold) was the same as my email inbox from which I received it. The person presented themselves as a hacker who had hacked my devices a few months ago while I was visiting a porn site. They are asking me to transfer a certain amount of money to a Bitcoin address if I don't want compromising things to be sent to my loved ones and contacts, and that once this is done, they will erase that data and leave me alone.  I was so panicked last night that I couldn't read the message in full, and it was one of my close friends present at that moment who read it for me and summarized it this way.  Of course, I absolutely refuse to pay this person, but seeing that the sender's email address is the same as my receiving inbox prevents me from having peace of mind.  Moreover, in my panic last night, I deleted this message from my trash, so I no longer have any proof in case I need to go to the police to file a complaint.  What should I do?  Thank you in advance for your response.

I received this message again today but this time my inbox identified it directly as SPAM so again, the message was deleted without even being opened.

Sa_8474 · Answer

Hello everyone, I also received a similar style of email but different, stating that they hacked my account a few months ago and that they are sending the email from my hacked account. When I click on it, it’s from a certain CosteGeoffrey@polivier.fr. Does anyone know him? But in the meantime, I changed my phone. I don't understand, thank you for helping me. I understand it’s annoying to resend the message, but mine is different.

+100 :) This type of email is very trendy right now!!! Moreover, being written in a somewhat correct manner, for once, it is quite persuasive... luckily it mentions "bitcoin" because many impressionable and poorly informed people would easily fall into the trap :) Many questions on the same topic are spreading on social media. -- The 'www' is also made for communicating, sharing, and exchanging, right? Thank you for having the courtesy to respond to those who are trying to help you :)

Panda_9934 · Answer

Hello, I received a similar type of email demanding a ransom within 48 hours... In my case, the email was sent with my own address, and the message included the password I typically use with that email address (online stores, forums...). I discarded the email without responding, but I just checked on Haveibeenpwned to see if my email address had been compromised. Results: "Oh no — pwned! Pwned on 5 breached sites and found no pastes (subscribe to search sensitive breaches)" Is this worrying? I admit it's quite unsettling... I will change my password on all the sites where I used it. Is that enough? Sorry for all these questions, but I'm a bit anxious about this.

Didier9879 · Answer

Hello,  I received a version that claims to have included a tracker in the email. When I look at it, there is indeed a tracker on the image: <img alt="Tracker sent from XXXXX@free.fr" dfsrc="http://image.k-upload.com/view-img-norm_2019-02-16-13f2104133.png" src="http://image.k-upload.com/view-img-norm_2019-02-16-13f2104133.png">  Are we still in intimidation territory or is the threat more real now?

Hello!  Honestly, we need to stop stressing out if someone threatens to reveal things about us that everyone does. I would be more worried if someone said to me!

Initial message edited with a paragraph "The key points of this scam" as there are points that often come up. Well, I think we should come up with a trick (correcting the mistakes ;p), one of these days, it will be more appropriate.

Same issue encountered. Account: 1PwYRvQrMU7WvjrXpRa4xuVhmEv7ssQEvJ The problem is that the webcam is facing the dog. Do you think it filmed my bulldog getting himself off? If so, let him share the video. And let him pay me in kibble rights!

Benoit28-1969 · Answer

Notice to all,  Once again an email with a new address for payment:  132xYDZ5dTFRHhKaWyjQ1yFAiuMy6r3aF6  This hacker is unbelievable, he has a code of honor...!  It's curious to read his email, he made copies of the photos on the infected computer.  Proof that there was no door broken down by a police service.  It just shows how fake this hacker is.  So if someone identifies him, don't hesitate to share his address.  The dog filmed is named Victor, his mother is Nikita.  The question is, will the hacker be able to pay 25,000 € to keep...  When he is captured.

Armel · Answer

Thank you for all this information.  I received this type of email. I did not follow up.  Can we file a complaint?

LArtDeLaPatience · Answer

Good evening everyone,  I received exactly the same kind in my email box about fifteen days ago. Email was opened five days ago, I had 72 hours to send the money... in other words, until yesterday afternoon. If it can reassure you, nothing happened, and the email is definitely a fake, pure slander since I don't go to this kind of site, except for advertisements which I close immediately. I want to specify that I have several emails, including one that I use only on shopping sites like Cdiscount, Amazon, AliExpress, etc... and it's the only one where I received this infamous email, which contained one of my previous passwords, but not the one I was using to log into this one, strange indeed if they had truly hacked my account, since the email seemed to be sent by mine. Again, it smells like nonsense! Finally, what a hassle, though, because I had to change all my passwords and even my email on all the sites where I am registered with this email, and I'm not finished yet. I feel like that's all I've been doing, honestly it's exhausting, and fortunately there's a God for everyone, they will pay for their actions eventually. Come on, as if we pick money from a tree!! ...  Anyway, be at ease but always vigilant and good luck ..  Best regards

Tess · Answer

Good evening,  I just received this kind of email too! Indeed, at first, even though you quickly recognize the scam, it’s a bit scary because it mentions an old password! :s The one I received is in English and the address used is "***@***".  The email is quite unbelievable. I’m supposed to pay a ransom of $1000 in Bitcoin (why not). Just in case, they even suggest looking up what Bitcoin is on Google (nice guy) ^^!!! All of this because I supposedly visited some adult video site, he hacked my computer, and he has a compromising personal video that he will send to my contacts to humiliate me ><. Oh dear...  "*****. is one of your passwords. Let's get directly to the purpose. Nobody has paid me to investigate about you. You do not know me and you're most likely thinking why you are getting this email?  Let me tell you, I installed software on the adult video clips (sex sites) website and you know what, you visited this website to experience fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser initiated working as a Remote control Desktop having a key logger which gave me accessibility to your display screen and webcam. Immediately after that, my software collected your complete contacts from your Messenger, FB, and email. After that, I created a double video. The first part shows the video you were viewing (you've got a nice taste lol...), and the next part displays the view of your cam, yeah it's you.  You actually have a pair of options. Let us review the possibilities in aspects:  First option is to just ignore this email. In this case, I will send out your recorded material to every one of your personal contacts and just imagine the humiliation you will definitely get. Don't forget if you happen to be in an intimate relationship, how it is going to affect?  Other option would be to pay me $999. Let's think of it as a donation. In such a case, I most certainly will without delay delete your video recording. You could carry on with your daily routine like this never happened and you will not ever hear back again from me.  You'll make the payment through Bitcoin (if you don't know this, search 'how to buy bitcoin' in Google search engine).  BTC address to send to: 1Lq8TnU33SMFUXcyGYmwkfriaBAfEoX5Co  [case sensitive, copy & paste it]  If you are thinking about going to the cops, well, this email cannot be traced back to me. I have covered my actions. I'm just not looking to charge you so much, I wish to be paid for. At this moment%} I know that you have read if I do not receive the bitcoin, I will certainly send your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, co-workers, and many others. That said, if I receive the payment, I will erase the video right away. If you want to have evidence, reply with Yes! & I will send out your video recording to your 11 contacts. It's a non-negotiable offer so please don't waste my personal time and yours by replying to this email."  All these fake emails are really annoying. When it’s not a threatening email, it’s a fake tax email (like we pay too much tax), or from the bank (I'm not even with that bank!), or a phone operator, a fake lottery gift... It never ends! Even though we can easily spot these malicious emails out of habit; it really frustrates me for some of my close ones who fall for it every time and panic right away.

Didi · Answer

Il semble que vous soyez confronté à une tentative de chantage en ligne. Voici quelques étapes que vous pourriez envisager pour gérer cette situation :

1. **Ne répondez pas** : Évitez de répondre aux messages de la personne qui vous menace.

2. **Signalez** : Vous pouvez signaler ces messages à la plateforme sur laquelle vous les avez reçus. Si c'est par email, signalez-le comme spam.

3. **Contactez la police** : Faites part de la situation à la police. Le chantage en ligne est un crime, et ils peuvent vous conseiller sur la marche à suivre.

4. **Sécurisez vos comptes** : Continuez à changer vos mots de passe et assurez-vous d’activer l’authentification à deux facteurs sur vos comptes.

5. **Évitez de céder au chantage** : Ne payez pas la somme demandée. Cela ne garantit pas que les menaces cesseront.

6. **Parlez-en à votre famille ou amis** : N'hésitez pas à demander leur aide et à partager votre situation pour obtenir du soutien.

7. **Consultez un expert** : Si vous vous sentez débordée, envisagez de demander l'aide d'un professionnel de la sécurité informatique.

Prenez soin de vous et restez vigilant.

Nourite · Answer

Good evening, following an old suspicious unopened message in the junk section, I received another more concerning email yesterday. It came from an address named YourPrivacy83@4868.com with the subject "I won't ask again" followed by an old password and contains threats on various points (see 1st image), which seems to prove that I am a victim of the same scam as you.  Being worried about a real hacking, I decided to open it this time to see its content (rest assured, before finding other people who have experienced the same thing). Therefore, do you think I risk having made things worse by opening it? Then, taking into account advice found on sites, I checked on IhavebeenPwned and it turns out that my main email address has indeed been hacked (see 2nd photo).  [https://img-19.ccm2.net/rwkonUuFJCPXWGopoxmYhbqPI64=/084ac2e9f2884bdda6a4df34a483de1e/tmp/Piratage.JPG   I then decided, starting from my phone, to change my main passwords (2 email addresses, Google account, Facebook, Messenger, and Huawei ID account) to ensure that no one could access personal information.  But I have seen in other conversations that there is a way to fix the hacking by communicating 3 URL links obtained on pjjoint after following a disinfection program on my PC. I therefore obtain these three links:  https://pjjoint.malekal.com/files.php?id=FRST_20190615_s12s6o10e11h8  https://pjjoint.malekal.com/files.php?id=20190615_w7v9t5f5t12  https://pjjoint.malekal.com/files.php?id=20190615_e12c7x15s5t13  Is it really necessary to take this step to avoid real effects from this email given that I changed my passwords today before any other step or research? (Is there really a way that they recorded private images of me or data that they could misuse?)  If so, can this procedure on my PC yield results even though the hacking is more likely to have originated from my phone? (the procedure does not start from this one!). Thus, if you think it is important for me to follow the instructions on the pjjoint site, is there anyone who can help me "read" the content of these three links to resolve this issue?  I admit I am very worried at the thought that my data could be misused even though I am aware that this email is probably just an attempt at fraud.  Thank you in advance for your help and/or advice regarding my situation.
