If you want to be sure that ur phone ia ok just check you modem page and reset it as when you bought it. That's the online way to be sure that they haven't sent to your phone a virus. I mean that on phone is literally impossibile to get a virus. The online way to get one is because someone has installed it for you remotely
I wouldn't say that is impossible to get a virus on a phone, because it's not. But from what I've experienced so far, nothing comes even close to sign that I have been infected with some sort of malware that sofisticated.

Well, it has been 48 hours since I first opened the email, without clicking on any link, of course. Nothing has happened. I did change passwords and activated 2fa to be cautious. But nothing to worry about so far.

Well the only way to get a virus on the phone is by installing a virus application and giving it all the accesses. Since you haven't given any acces to any app somebody else has, but how? well by the router they can

Saying again, my phone is in good shape. Everything that I own is in good shape, not a single trace of a virus anywhere. That email was 100% a spam email design to scare me to pay the "ransom". The only thing I said is that is not impossible to get viruses on your phone. You can get a malware on your phone pretty much in the same ways that you can get on your computer.

Nonno because to get a virus you have to give it all the accesses otherwise it is just a useless app

Basically, it said I have access to your email account and have started to track your internet history and, have installed a trojan virus on the operating system. My virus continually refreshes the signature (driver-based). Transfer a sum of money within 48 hours or I will send some dodgy videos to all of your contacts. It was from (e-mail address removed)
Sorry man, but it happened to me too while I was hospitalized recovering from COVID-19. I got released from the hospital on Sept. 07, 2022. In my computer I have Malwarebytes Professional version and the Trojan Virus wasn’t detected (I got in touch with Malwarebytes Representatives aWaiting for a response). In any case my printer wasn’t working, my Microsoft Account was taken, and my Facebook Account too. Also my Microsoft Account was being used to buy products from Microsoft. I got notified by my Bank that my account was being used fraudulent. I changed all my passwords and created a new email. I made a report with the local Police Dept. and got a case number. As of now I was able to get my computer working, My Microsoft account but not Facebook. I’m in the process of notifying the 3 Credit Bureau Departments and the FTC. Also waiting for Malwarebytes Representative to see why their program wasn’t able to detect this particular Trojan Virus. Sorry man this threat is real get to work as soon as possible and I wish the best. You can do it.

Hello!

This scam is still going around, I just got a similar email. The weird thing was that it was sent from my account to myself but when I looked at the sent email folder it was not there. Should I be worried?

I have this same issue however the problem is they sent a picture of my desktop along with It confirming they have access to it. They say they have videos of my webcam however I thought driver based viruses had to keep a screen grab or webcam pic basis to stay undetectable.

So I got this 6hours ago, after I changed my passwords two weeks before, because I downloaded a wrong msi afterburner link, got all my files blocked, i reinstalled my pc and after I still had pitou.j trojan on my pc, how do I fix this?


Hello there!

Unfortunately, there are some bad news for you.
Around several months ago I've attained access to your devices that you were utilizing to go internet. Every day, I saw everything you did.

I'll tell you what happened below:
I've bought access your device (with Troyan "Virus") from others hackers ( that's a veritably straightforward task that can be done online).

As well as having access to your email address and all social networks as I know all your passwords. Do not you believe it ?

Do you recognize your Desktop below ?




Do you recognize your password (mypassword) from your (e-mail address removed) email address ?

From that moment I started following all your activities, written emails, chats with friends and relatives, visited sites, etc. I also recorded everything you said and did while using the computer, thanks to your webcam and microphone. All the data collected including recorded audio and video have been uploaded to a server so that everything can be easily managed. Don't try to delete my virus it constantly updates its signatures (since it is driver based) and thus remains invisible to your antivirus.

So, by now you should already understand the reason why I remained unnoticed until this very moment… While collecting your information, I have found out that you are also a huge fan of websites for adults. You truly enjoy checking out porn websites and watching dirty videos, while having a lot of kinky fun. I have recorded several kinky scenes of yours and montaged some videos, where you reach orgasms while passionately masturbating. If you still doubt my serious intentions, it only takes couple mouse clicks to share your videos with your friends, relatives and even colleagues. It is also not a problem for me to allow those vids for access of public as well. I truly believe, you would not want this to occur, understanding how special are the videos you love watching, (you are clearly aware of that) all that stuff can result in a real disaster for you.

Don't essay to call police or any other screen services. also, do not indeed suppose to partake this with musketeers of yours. Once I detect that out( make no mistrustfulness about it, I can do that painlessly, bearing in mind that I've full control over all your systems) – the videotape of yours will come accessible to public incontinently.
Don't essay to probe for me – there's fully no point in that. All cryptocurrency deals remain innominate at all moments.
Don't essay reinstalling the zilches on bias of yours or get relieve of them. It's pointless too, because all your vids are formerly accessible at remote waiters.

Let’s resolve it like this: All you need is $1500 USD transfer to my account (bitcoin equivalent based on exchange rate during your transfer), and after the transaction is successful, I will proceed to delete all that kinky stuff without delay. Afterwards, we can pretend that we have never met before. In addition, I assure you that all the harmful software will be deleted from all your devices. Be sure, I keep my promises. That is quite a fair deal with a low price, bearing in mind that I have spent a lot of effort to go through your profile and traffic for a long period. If you are unaware how to buy and send bitcoins – you can from


You are given not more than 24 hours after you have opened this email (1 days to be precise).

Below is the list of conduct that you shouldn't essay doing> Don't essay to reply my email. ( I use just one email adress hacked too for write you).

Don't essay to call police or any other security services. Once I find that out( make no mistrustfulness about it, I can do that painlessly, bearing in mind that I've full control over all your systems) – All video, images, audio, info etc .. will come available to public through YoutTube and Facebook.
Don't essay to search for me – there's fully no point in that. All cryptocurrency deals remain anonymous at all times.
Don't essay reinstalling your device because all your video, images, audio, info are available at my remote server.

As soon as I receive my fee, you can rest assured because I will immediately delete all the info, video, audio from my server.

Believe me, it is meaningless for me to keep on making your life complicated. If I wanted to make it , would happen long time ago!

Everything will be carried out based on fairness!



Before I forget…try not to get involved in this kind of situations anymore!
An advice from me – regularly change all the passwords to your accounts.

I received n email that states I have used an email account to gain access and track your internet usage etc by installing a driver-based virus that is undetectable.

Should Windows defender find this type of virus? Is this genuine or a scam?

Nothing should happen at least the person who send me the email actually doesn't have any of my passwords, photos or videos as I don't have a webcam or any virus or malware on my PC, it's a fake email they use old passwords from leaked databases that you don't use anymore to scare you to give them money and the photo of your desktop probably just from leaked databases, also don't reply to the email as the person will see that you are using that email address and will continue to spam you, nothing to worry about just delete the emails, stay safe.

ive been getting emails lately that sound exactly the same as the ones the members have reported. i just ignore them. i figure that if the "hackers" actually released these "adult videos", they they couldnt get any money from me!...also, if they have all my passwords to my financial institutions, they could could just withdraw the money they seek. i see also that the "price" to fix this problem has gone up! herc30

The way a virus works is it attacks the receivers email and then sends itself out to everyone on his list and then the next persons list and so on. Look closely at the email that told you this and check the senders addy. I get scam maill all the time saying this acct or that acct was possibly hacked, but it will say pay pal or amazon, but the senders email is like ryeeryawew7s99900rtyhgee0rr0 or some such bs.
Download and run malwarebytes and see what it says, use the free trial and make SURE you get it from Malwarebytes and not some third party. You might find you have some pups, which may or may not be bad, it means possibly unwanted programs.
It sounds like BS to me. People have gotten wise to the phone calls saying you are leaking viruses, personally I loved messing with them, they say they were tracking my IP, but I'm on a VPN. When I ask them what IP they were tracking, they give me an IP that shows up when you check connected IP's on millions of computers, it's a router and you can't track that unless you are logged into it. I'd try to keep them online as long as possible, I'm retired and it's entertaining to make them dance for me.
hi waldoo 99...thanks for recomending Malwarebytes. i downloaded it and ran it. it found 78 "problems" on my computer. several of them were "hacking tools". i "quarenteened all of them. Herc30
