Subject: "You're my victim"

I'll save you the trouble of opening a similar message, especially since it requires a little massaging to work around some bad coding. This is the second similar message that I have received in a little over a month. (From different sources, of course, and it probably was sent by a Trojan) In fact there was no embedded tracking attempt. (I can't imagine anyone would setup thousands of BitCoin accounts on the chance that a few would pay.) While this message is simply a scare attempt, future emails could contain malware. -- viewer beware!

Body:
Hi, victim.
This is my last warning.
I write you because I put a malware on the web page with porn which you have visited.
My virus grabbed all your personal info and turned on your camera which captured the process of your orgasm. Just after that the soft saved your contact list.
I will delete the compromising video and info if you pay me 300 USD in bitcoin. This is address for payment : [redacted]

I give you 30 hours after you open my message for making the transaction.
As soon as you read the message I'll see it right away.
It is not necessary to tell me that you have sent money to me. This address is connected to you, my system will delete everything automatically after transfer confirmation.

If you need 48 h just reply on this letter with +.
You can visit the police station but nobody can help you.
If you try to deceive me , I'll see it right away !
I dont live in your country. So they can not track my location even for 9 months.
Goodbye. Dont forget about the shame and to ignore, Your life can be ruined.

Oh, yea this is bad, I don't think that I will ever sleep again. (not)

While there is a camera on my monitor, I'm not sure if there is an installed driver. In any case he is welcome to the thousands videos of the back side of a plastic dot on on my computer's camera or the inside of my pocket taken by the phone. The phone's pocket audio should be particularly interesting.

Well I always wanted a career in porn.  I guess this is how I will get my start.

Just put some tape over that camera... party on!
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's AV trouble, a man alone.

When your equipment is overly large, you want it out there on the net.

No need for me to pay. :-)

*Serious question*

Do you have a Mikrotik router?

Because it is hacked.

Clearly your taste in porn is different from Buzz's.
Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.

Because nearly all Mikrotik's with less than current firmware have likely been infected with Malware. Over the past month or as far back as April, they have had access to all traffic coming and going from your router. This means someone can see what sites you visited or what credit card you've used on merchant sites. They may not have your video feed, but they could tell if you visited midget porn sites. LOL Fun stuff...
