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 |

Do you access your email on public computer? Like cyber cafe? Don't mind the mofo, I would suggest you alert every of your social network friends like facebook and tell them not to send money to anyone on your name because of same reason. After that, reload/reformat your system and let see. I'm sure the dude is one of those boys throwing computer virus. Am sure you unknowingly click on those link. |

Since you didn't visit any cyber cafe in the recent time means the the person sent you the computer hacking virus via link that you mistakenly click on to download or something like video that you click on. Immediately you click on this, the virus will grab everything on your system and whatever you're doing on your system, the virus will be reporting to him remotely. Now this is the issue, you can get rid of some virus through re loading/format your system while some virus will forever sitting on the board of your system. So if you format your system and still notice the guy is still monitoring your system just dump the system and get another one. Now, make sure you change every of your personal email password, update their security through your phone number and after doing so, only access them on your phone and not on your system till you kick the hacker away.

Onistephen2:Noobs everyone This is a simple trick hackers use to compromise most companies. The send mails from the company official email to their workers and the workers will think its actually from the company... This is no malware or virus... It's done with a simple python program See the one sent to me months back..
