7. Don't give up personal information 8. Contact and report to law enforcement if images have been posted without consent or fear for selfsafety. What if I'm already paying money? If you've already paid the scammer, contact your bank immediately to request a chargeback. If they have access to any of your accounts, including Facebook, YouTube or WhatsApp, make sure to change all associated passwords as soon as possible. Also, be aware that if these scammers are using an email address for their official communication with you, it's possible they also got to other online accounts you use. If I've already paid money, is there anything else that can be done? Seeking help from the relevant authorities is the best thing you can do if this has happened to you. They will be able to find out where your images are being held and work with law enforcement in those countries to get them removed. Contacting an online security professional is also a good idea if you're not familiar with this sort of thing and need help keeping your private data secure in the future. Sextortion email examples There are many examples of sextortion email scams floating around the internet. We have shared a few of them below. Example 1: Threatening email asking for bitcoin Dear (insert victim's name here), You don't know me, but I've been watching you. I hacked into your computer and took some very personal pictures of you that I now have as leverage against you. You can view them on this site: (site with compromised images). If you would like to get the photos back, send $500 to Bitcoin wallets address: (insert bitcoin address here) You have 24 hours. If I don't get my money, these pictures will be released for everyone on the internet to see, and you'll never be able to scrub them from existence. You can keep it anonymous if you wantthat should still scare you. -Scammer Cyber Defense eMagazine – December 2021 Edition 128 Copyright © 2021, Cyber Defense Magazine. All rights reserved worldwide.
Example 2:'You've been hacked' email asking for money Dear (insert victim's name here), I know who you are and what you've been doing on your computer. I had recorded videos of everything - mainly the videos that show up when you were visiting adult websites, as well as other things like webcam footage from Skype sessions with family members or colleagues. You should read this article: (insert a link to article) If you don't take action and pay ransom immediately, I will release these videos and photos of you on the internet so that your family and friends get a good laugh.
