Quote:One fine (or not so fine) day, you check your inbox and discover a message that starts like this:

Quote:“I’m aware, ********** is your password. You don’t know me and you are probably thinking why you are getting this email, right? Well, I actually placed a malware on the adult video clips (porn) web site…”
Or like this:
“I hacked this mailbox and infected your operating system with a virus…”
Or even:
“I’m part of an international hacker group. As you can guess, your account was hacked…”

All sorts of variants exist, but the message boils down to a claim that the sender infected your computer by hacking your account or placing malware on a porn site you visited. They appear to have harvested your e-mail contacts, social networks, instant messengers, and phone book. They appear to have total access to your device, and they’ve also, it appears, hijacked your webcam to make a video of you watching something.
