Re: Threatening Emails
I don't blame you, I think if it were me, I'd delete that account AND make a new password, for every site I have!

Re: Threatening Emails
I would change the password (and secret question, if there is one) for that email account and any online account that's connected with it.
Jox, do you remember back at ezboard, how someone had their account hacked into more than once by the James Bond troll? Under the circumstances, I think it was his email account that was hacked into, not his ezboard account directly, and the hacker was using that email access for password retrievals.

Re: Threatening Emails
Some of the trolls were trusted members that 'helped' other members with making changes to their accounts by having them share their passwords with them.
At least one board owner and Admin of many other boards was a common-law spouse with the French troll, who may have also been the Bond troll.
Who knows, some members may have also been tricked into sharing their email passwords & secret question answers as well.

Re: Threatening Emails
A member of one of the boards tried to get me to enter my username and password into a web form, claiming it would check to see if my account had been compromised. Instead of typing in my credentials, I used that form to send a message to the attempted hacker, basically telling her where to shove it, and the form returned a message saying my "account" hadn't been compromised.
That's funny. If this thing could check to see if an account had been compromised, it should have been able to check and see if the "account" actually existed or not.
Later, this person claimed that her account had been hacked, and the person who sent me the link to that form wasn't her. I have never believed that claim, and think she made it up because she realized I was wise to her phishing attempt.

Re: Threatening Emails
Yeah. I felt bad for Mary, that the trolls got her to hand over Talking Xena. IIRC, she has it back now. I've learned you really have to be careful with even the 'trusted' members. I stopped getting into the middle of flame wars because a lot of times it turned out to be the same people on both sides. I really hate all that time I spent on troll hunting and engaging with them, but on the other hand I love the experience it gave me, and the knowledge I have now. I used to lurk at TX & XOC every now and again just to see if the BS was still going on, but now that it's Tapatalk, I haven't even bothered in ages. Moving to Proboards was the best decision.

Re: Threatening Emails
I got this today:
quote:
Date 2 Dec 2018 13:03:40 +0400
From (My Email Addy)
Received from 203.247.149.153 <--- Suwon, Gyeonggi-do -- Korea, Republic of
Subject Third party accessed to (My Email Addy)
To (My Email Addy)
Hello!
I'm is very good programmer, known in darkweb as robinson12.
I hacked this mailbox more than six months ago,
through it I infected your operating system with a virus (trojan) created by me and have been spying for you a very long time.
I understand it is hard to believe, but you can check it yourself.
I'm sent this e-mail from your account. Try it yourself.
Even if you changed the password after that - it does not matter, my virus intercepted all the caching data on your computer
and automatically saved access for me.
I have access to all your accounts, social networks, email, browsing history.
Accordingly, I have the data of all your contacts, files from your computer, photos and videos.
I was most struck by the intimate content sites that you occasionally visit.
You have a very wild imagination, I tell you!
During your pastime and entertainment there, I took screenshot through the camera of your device, synchronizing with what you are watching.
Oh my god! You are so funny and excited!
I think that you do not want all your contacts to get these files, right?
If you are of the same opinion, then I think that $277 is quite a fair price to destroy the dirt I created.
Send the above amount on my BTC wallet (bitcoin): <snipped>
As soon as the above amount is received, I guarantee that the data will be deleted, I do not need it.
Otherwise, these files and history of visiting sites will get all your contacts from your device.
Also, I'll send to everyone your contact access to your email and access logs, I have carefully saved it!
Since reading this letter you have 48 hours!
After your reading this message, I'll receive an automatic notification that you have seen the letter.
I hope I taught you a good lesson.
Do not be so nonchalant, please visit only to proven resources, and don't enter your passwords anywhere!
Good luck!
I have the other email saved in a document, and I just sent both contents to my internet/email provider to see if they can block these types of emails.

Re: Threatening Emails
Have you tried looking at the full header of the email? That tends to reveal much more.

Re: Threatening Emails
The email gets rerouted to an online spam catcher system other than my email account, and I don't get much header info there. I don't want to release it to download onto my computer in case I accidentally open up a virus.

Re: Threatening Emails
It's getting close to ten emails now.
quote:
Hello!
I have very bad news for you.
21/12/2018 - on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account <email snipped>
So, you can change the password, yes... But my malware intercepts it every time.
How I made it:
In the software of the router, through which you went online, was a vulnerability. I just hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
When you went online, my trojan was installed on the OS of your device.
After that, I made a full dump of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts).
A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a not big amount of btc to unlock. But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and I was shocked by what I saw!!! I'm talk you about sites for adults.
I want to say - you are a BIG pervert. Your fantasy is shifted far away from the normal course!
And I got an idea....
I made a screenshot of the adult sites where you have fun (do you understand what it is about, huh?). After that, I made a screenshot of your joys (using the camera of your device) and glued them together. Turned out amazing! You are so spectacular!
I'm know that you would not like to show these screenshots to your friends, relatives or colleagues. I think $732 is a very, very small amount for my silence.
Besides, I have been spying on you for so long, having spent a lot of time!
Pay ONLY in Bitcoins!
My BTC wallet: <code snipped>
You do not know how to use bitcoins?
Enter a query in any search engine: "how to replenish btc wallet". It's extremely easy
For this payment I give you two days (48 hours). As soon as this letter is opened, the timer will work.
After payment, my virus and dirty screenshots with your enjoys will be self-destruct automatically. If I do not receive from you the specified amount, then your device will be locked, and all your contacts will receive a screenshots with your "enjoys".
I hope you understand your situation.
- Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data, files and screenshots is already uploaded to a remote server)
- Do not try to contact me (this is not feasible, I sent you an email from your account)
- Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help, since your data is already on a remote server.
P.S. You are not my single victim. so, I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment! This is the word of honor hacker
I also ask you to regularly update your antiviruses in the future. This way you will no longer fall into a similar situation.
Do not hold evil! I just do my job.
Have a nice day!
