Sextortion Email 2023-07 Edition

I receveid at least a few of these emails now telling me that I've been caught on camera pleasuring myself. I find it funny because none of my devices have a webcam.

I'm posting this email here so you are aware of what to avoid. Please don't fall for this Sextortion:

  From: John Blue <JohnBlue@7822.com>
  Subject: I RECORDED YOU!


Hi, today there are sadly some bad news for you.

Your device was infected with my private malware, your browser wasn't updated / patched, in such case it's enough to just visit some website where my iframe is placed to get automatically infected, if you want to find out more, Google: Drive-by exploit.

My malware gave me full access to all your accounts, full control over your device and it also was possible to spy on you over your cam.

If you think this is some bad joke, no, for example I know your phone number: [REDACTED]

I collected all your private data and I RECORDED YOU (through your cam) SATISFYING YOURSELF!

After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces and this email was sent from some hacked server.

I can publish the video of you and all your private data on the whole web, social networks, over email and send everything to all your contacts.

But you can stop me and only I can help you out in this situation.

The only way to stop me, is to pay exactly 750$ in Bitcoin (BTC).

It's a very good offer, compared to all that horrible shit that will happen if I publish everything.

You can easily buy Bitcoin (BTC) here: www.paxful.com , www.coingate.com , www.coinbase.com , or check for Bitcoin (BTC) ATM near you, or Google for other exchanger.

You can send the Bitcoin (BTC) directly to my wallet, or install the free software: Atomicwallet, or: Exodus wallet, then receive and send to mine.

My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet is: 1NnKVByWGK6ivofJgvUfQca4VYNci55HYA

Yes, that's how the wallet / address looks like, copy and paste it, it's (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE).

I give you 3 days time to pay.

After receiving the payment, I will remove everything and you can life your live in peace like before, don't worry, I keep my promise.

Next time make sure that your device got the newsest security updates.

ClientMailID: 000000

The "ClientMailID" may vary. They may also have some of the numbers from your phone number. Some other elements of this email may be unique for you like the @XXXX.com address in the FROM address. The signature seems to be the same that it's all from this "John Blue" character.

I have found some sources indicate that this is due to a recent security breach at Gemini where customer information was leaked and as a result, the scammers may have more info on you than usual to make the exploit look more scary.

Please don't fall for this and send them Bitcoin. You will never get that money back and there is no looming fear of you being naked on the Interwebz.

Other addresses associated with this:

Also, you can report instances of this to Chain Abuse. They work with law enforcement to track these things.

Build xmrig on Linux

Hi all, So, I am getting into the crypto-mining space a bit and I wanted to share a few things I've learned. This whole experience has been teaching me a lot as of late! In this post, we'll be talking about xmrig what it is and how to compile it on Linux. I'm going to skip the wallet and other details as I wanted this post to be as context-specific and straight to the point as possible. Let's dive right in. What is xmrig??? My take on this is xmrig is a swiss army knife of a mininig tool that can be used for many algorithms and various coins. I mostly found and used this to mine Monero (XMR), so we'll take that as an example. xmrig supports both CPU and GPU minining, but not all algorithms are CPU- or GPU- friendly. Some are specific to either, so be mindful of what you are doing when you are setting this up. Let's dive into the build and running instructions and examples. Building xmrig I happen to be using d...

Pulseaudio: Multi-User Setup

Hello and welcome to my blog. If you are finding this page, then you might be in a similar situation I found myself when I wanted to share audio with different apps if they were being used by different user accounts on your local *nix machine when using Pulse audio. Credits to Eli Billauer and Dhole for the configuration directives I needed to make this possible. The Problem I have multiple user accounts on my system that run various apps, like my web browser, chat apps, email and more. I don't like everything running as myself and try to create a user account with just enough privileges to do what it needs to do. Pulseaudio (herein "Pulse") runs as myself when my desktop environment starts. Apps that run normally need to connect to Pulse in some fashion in order to listen to the microphone or play audio on the speakers. When the apps all run as the logged in user, this works great. When the apps run as someone else, this doesn't work or is inconsistent...
