“Total access to all your devices.” Sextortion scammers strike again
A line-by-line breakdown of a current sextortion email campaign, explaining the psychological and fake-technical tactics scammers use to extort money. The email claims the sender installed a Trojan, recorded the victim via webcam, and demands $1,490 in Bitcoin within 48 hours. Each claim is debunked: no specific malware, no proof of access, no actual recording. Key red flags include vague technical language, absence of any evidence, artificial urgency, and objection-handling designed to prevent victims from seeking help. Practical advice: never reply, don't pay, change any exposed passwords, enable 2FA, and delete the message.
