he's obviously getting some money, just checked his BTC address, I know about BTC as bought my Zed with it a few weeks back :) he's got about £1142 received and current balance of £552. Screenshot 2019-07-29 at 13.46.13.png
 
[ref]AlienZed[/ref], I've had the same email, again part of my password was included, but not shown case sensitive either;

not sure how they managed to get part of my password, I've not changed it... they gave me 3 days too, I took no action... and I'm still here :rofl: :poke:

They told me they had pics of me looking at porn, which I don't do (honest guv)... so the threat was a little futile anyhow!
 
quite a common scam at the moment, just remember

1) if someone had photos they'd simply send them
2) they wouldn't give clues on how they infected you
3) they wouldn't go to such lengths to convince you to send them money, complete with instructions of where to buy and send.

Discard.

At this point I think I should mention the virtues of a good password manager, so you don't have to do anything like that ever again!

I use LastPass - it's really, really good, and works across mobile and desktop devices.

www.lastpass.com
 
I was worried with a password manager that if you lost the passord to the manager you then lost access to everything within
 
True, but at least it's only one password to remember instead of many! You can have it as a phrase, like Z4IsMyFavouriteRoadster! so it's secure but easy to remember, and then you can let the password manager take care of everything else - for example, I have absolutely no idea what my z4-forum password is, but can log in every day :D
 
Advice from the Police:-

Sextortion Emails In Circulation

Good morning.

We are aware that people have been receiving a sextortion phishing email. The email has alarmed some people as it contains a previously used password. The email claims to have access to your accounts, and that there is a video recording of you behaving inappropriately. The email then goes on to request that you pay a large sum of money via bitcoin, or another form of currency. The email threatens that if you do not pay the money, a video will be leaked to your contacts. Attached are screenshots of this email.
We are reminding people not to panic if they receive this email. It is a form of phishing. If the email contains a previously used password of yours, this will be due to the fact that your details have been part of a data breach at some point in the past. Don't panic, do not reply to the email or send cash, change your passwords for your accounts, especially if you use the password that is leaked in the email. Run an antivirus scan on your device, and report it to Action Fraud via their website, or calling 0300 123 2040.

Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries.
Kind regards,
Katie Cain
Cyber Harm Reduction Officer
