My brain is basically shut down for the day due to having to get up very early for a doctors appointment but not being able to sleep on account of the arselings terrorizing the neighborhood critters and launching the air quality into "ultra 5" territory.
Ohh lookie i just got a new email
I am sorry to inform you that your device was compromised.
I'll explain what led to all of this. I have used a Zero Day vulnerability with a special code to infect your device through a website.
This is a complicated software that requires precise skills that I have. It works as a chain with specially crafted and unique code and that’s why this type of an attack can go undetected.
You only need one not patched vulnerability to be infected, and unfortunately for you – it works that simple.
You were not targeted specifically, but just became one of the quite a few unlucky people who got hacked that day.
All of this happened a few month ago. So I’ve had time to collect information on you.
I think you already know what is going to happen next.
During that time, my software was quietly collecting information about your habits, websites that you visit, searches you do, texts you send.
There is more to it, but I have listed a few reasons for you to understand how serious this is.
For you to clearly understand, my software controlled your camera and microphone as well and it was impossible for you to know about it.
It was just about right timing for me to get you privacy violated.
I’ve been waiting enough and have decided that it’s time to put an end to this.
So here is my offer. I need a consulting fee to delete the media content I have been collecting.
Your privacy stays untouched, if I get paid.
Otherwise, I will leak the most damaging content to your contacts and post it to a public tube for perverts to explore.
I understand how damaging this will be for you, and amount is not that big for you to keep your privacy.
Please dont blame me – we all have different ways of making a living.
I have no intention of destroying your reputation or life, but only if I get paid.
I don’t care about you personally, that's why you can be sure that all files I have and software on your device will be deleted immediately after I receive the transfer.
I only care about getting paid.
My modest consulting fee is 1650 US Dollars transferred in Bitcoin. Exchange rate at the time of the transfer.
You need to send that amount to this wallet: 1M6JzrEt3VYpjcwvXyy8GwewGTHjv8bTgQ
The fee is non negotiable, to be transferred within 2 business days.
We use Bitcoin to protect my identity.
Obviously do not try to ask for any help from anybody unless you want your privacy to be violated.
I will monitor your every move until I get paid. If you keep your end of the agreement, you wont hear from me ever again.
Take care

Too bad it wasn't Paypal. You could tell them you sent them the amount, but send them an invoice. When they click thinking it's payment, their money's gone.

I'm prone to believe there's a 50 percent chance the email itself is a scam, in which case, you'd be off the hook. However, if they did send stuff about you to your contacts, that's something to weigh too. Depending on what they had on me, I'd about pay them to send it to some of my contacts. Then if my contacts get mad and don't understand, they will likely be more prone to be mad at the person who sent it, I think. And if they do understand, then they just got yet another perspective on my life, leading them to a greater understanding.
My first thought is hell no.
My second thought is to check out that wallet Bitcoin Abuse Database: 1M6JzrEt3VYpjcwvXyy8GwewGTHjv8bTgQ and I find 30 reports so far.
Then more searching turned up this on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/hacking/comments/oe7v8q/i_was_hacked_with_a_zero_day_attack_what_should_i/
More on my next post
Oh wait, this is in a joke thread so I assume you're not serious?

I'm kinda thinking that maybe if they scammed everyone they said they were going to scam, they'd be at the computer 24/7 without sleep.

I don't know how to edit a meme, but Swiss cheese does not have holes, they're called eyes.
So I guess fill the cow with eyes or have it leading around a blind guy and call it a seeing eye cow to make your joke accurate.
I've never seen a Swiss cheese blink or look at me.
So they're holes, not eyes.
But potatoes....

I'm having some wee brake issues I can't solve so I'm having Discount Tire take a look tomorrow while I'm getting a new tire.
Actually I think I do know what's wrong, I just really would rather it be anything just about anything else than the damn drum brakes.
And why in the hell does this car have drum brakes anyways? Seriously. My '08 Camry had sane person/modern rear brakes, but the '12 xD does not. Did Toyota have a technical glitch or some old engineer who also thinks older cars are safer or some other weird thing that accidentally put them there by some fluke of the universe?
