"Notification of Underage Pornography Content" Extortion Email
Notification of Underage Pornography Content Extortion Email

Recipients of the "Notification of Underage Pornography Content" extortion email below, which claims they have viewed child porn and threatens to expose them if they do not send money or Bitcoins, are asked to delete them and should not send any money or Bitcoin. This is because the email is being sent by cyber criminals who are attempting to frighten and trick their potential victims into sending them money, or in other words, extort money from them.

The cybercriminals may have your old password, but it doesn't mean that they have anything on you. It appears they may have gotten your password from the Yahoo or other internet hacks or data breaches that took place a few months or years ago. Yahoo and the companies who suffered the data breach have forced their users to change their passwords, so they should have nothing to worry about.

The "Notification of Underage Pornography Content" Extortion Emails

From: Marshall Gregory 430@867.593

Sent: Wednesday, July 4, 2018 5:58:31 PM

Subject: - Notification of Underage Pornography Content

you recently viewed the child porn on your system, and the site on which you viewed the porn captured your details. So information about your location (IP Address, Mac address), other sensitive information (browser cookies, social media links, browser history) and your social contacts (facebook friends, email contacts) were collected and sent to my server.

All of these details will be automatically forwarded to the concerned police departments including Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit, and FBI exactly 24 hours from now on (I have the special tracking pixel in this email which has been activated right after opening of this email). Believe me, all of the information will be enough to put you behind the bars for the years to come.

However, if you send exactly 0.1 BTC (Bitcoins) to the below address in the next 24 hours, then my servers will automatically delete all of your information and you can continue to live your life.

BTC Address: 156WS9dbawc1UfJhc87jSACSTMghNZyAz1

(It is CaSe sensitive. Copy & Paste)

In case, you do not send the bitcoins, then your data will be automatically forwarded to the above mentioned enforcements agencies.

If you do not know about bitcoins, then just use coinbase, or search google on "How to buy bitcoins".

The email claims the recipeitns' MAC address, social media links, browser history, Facebook friends, email contact were collected and sent to the cybercriminals' server. But, this is not possible because javascript, a scripting language for the web, doesn't allow the list of sensitive information mentioned before, to be collected.

Subject: elninomatt - Notification of Underage Pornography Content

Hey I am from the FBI, and we recently received some sensitive information which proves that at some point in the past you have used your system to access minor pornography content (child porn). I would like to make an offer to you. If you send exactly 0.2 BTC to the below address in the next 24 hours, then I will just get your case erased, nothing will happen to you.

BTC Address: 1Hii5oCu6HP1fJhHBwVdECLh8sYLt8fTjQ

It is CaSe sensitive, so copy & paste the address. If you do not know about bitcoins, then just use coinbase, or search google on "How to buy bitcoins".

In case, you do not send the bitcoins, then the FBI will proceed as usual, and this offer will lapse.

This is a one-time non negotiable offer, do not reply to this email.

It is possible to use Java Applet in older web browsers, which is a small application or plugin used in web browsers, to collect MAC address and maybe browser history, but none of the other listed items. And, all new web browsers do not support Java Applet. So, we know who sent the email is lying.

And, the FBI will never ask you to send them money.

"I am well aware [old password removed] is one of your passwords. Lets get straight to purpose. Neither anyone has paid me to investigate you. You don't know me and you are most likely thinking why you are getting this e-mail?

actually, i placed a software on the x*x videos (s*x sites) site and you know what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what i mean). While you were viewing video clips, your internet browser started operating as a Remote control Desktop with a key logger which provided me accessibility to your display and web camera. Just after that, my software program collected all of your contacts from your Messenger, FB, and emailaccount. Next i created a video. 1st part displays the video you were viewing (you have a nice taste haha), and second part shows the recording of your web cam, yea its u.


You actually have only 2 alternatives. Let us understand each of these solutions in particulars:

1st choice is to ignore this email message. as a result, i most certainly will send out your video to all your your personal contacts and thus imagine about the humiliation you feel. Not to mention should you be in a committed relationship, precisely how it can affect?

in the second place option would be to pay me USD 2000. I will refer to it as a donation. Then, i will right away delete your video recording. You will keep going your daily life like this never took place and you will not ever hear back again from me.

You'll make the payment through Bi‌tco‌in (if you do not know this, search for 'how to buy b‌itcoi‌n' in Google).

B‌T‌C‌ ad‌dre‌ss: 1DrApz3Noacj84z2maUZgKPWAHtCr6MenZ

[case-SeNSiTiVe copy & paste it]

Should you are thinking of going to the cops, good, this email message can not be traced back to me. I have covered my steps. i am not attempting to demand a lot, i just like to be paid for. within this%} emaitCr6MenZ if i don't get the ‌bi‌tco‌in‌, i will, no doubt send your video to all of your contacts including family members, colleagues, and many others. Having said that, if i receive the payment, i'll erase the recording immediately. If you want to have evidence, reply with Yeah! & i definitely will send out your video to your 8 contacts. This is a non-negotiable offer and thus please do not waste my personal time and yours by responding to this email."

Pass word- 448833234

Hello,

I do know your passwords (check this email subject for one of the passwords), I do know about your
daily life, I do know about your internet activities but you do not know anything about me, and you must
be wondering why you are getting this email, right? I installed a malware on the adult (p**n) website
and guess what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean!). While you were watching
the p**n, your web browser started functioning as an RDP keylogger, which gave me access to your
display screen and camera. Right after that, my software collected all of your contacts from your
Facebook account, Messenger account, and email account, then, I created a double screen video. The
first part shows the video you were watching (you have a nice taste lol), and the second part shows
the recording of your camera (it is you!).
You have two options -
1. First option is to ignore this email. In this case, I will send the recorded video clip of yours to all of
your contacts and just imagine the humiliation you will feel from this. Don't forget that this can also
affect your relationship as well.
2. Second option is to pay me $1000. We will call it a donation. In this case, I will right away delete your
video and all of your information I have about you (including your contact lists) and you will never hear
from me again. You can continue your daily life like this never happened.
You will make the payment via Bitcoin. If you do not know about Bitcoin, search Google for "how to buy
bitcoin". You can also get the Bitcoin from sites like Bitstamp, Coinbase, Kraken, Localbitcoins, etc.
Bitcoin (i.e. BTC) address to which you need to send is -
1LPF16BMZjaGFxzCe5U7bxLHgjyJ9rMB14
It is Case-Sensitive, so make sure to copy and paste it, or, you can also scan this QR image to get the BTC
address:
If you are thinking to go to the police, good luck, I have taken every step to make sure that this email
cannot be traced back to me. You have 48 hours to pay me. I have a special Facebook pixel in this email,
and at this moment, I know that you have read this email. If you want proof, reply to this email, and I
will send your video to 4 of your contacts."

I know, * is one of your pass words. Lets get right to purpose. Nobody has compensated me to check you. You do not know me and you're probably thinking why you're getting this e mail?

In fact, I setup a software on the 18 streaming (p**n material) website and there's more, you visited this website to experience fun (you know what I mean). When you were watching videos, your browser initiated operating as a RDP having a key logger which provided me with access to your display screen as well as web camera. after that, my software program gathered your entire contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, as well as e-mail . after that I created a video. 1st part shows the video you were viewing (you have a fine taste lol), and second part displays the view of your web cam, yea its you.

First solution is to skip this message. in such a case, I will send out your actual recorded material to every one of your contacts and just consider regarding the embarrassment you experience. or should you be in a romantic relationship, precisely how it will certainly affect?

Latter alternative will be to pay me USD 967. We will call it a donation. in this instance, I will quickly erase your videotape. You can keep everyday life like this never happened and you surely will never hear back again from me.

You will make the payment by Bi‌tco‌in (if you do not know this, search 'how to buy b‌itcoi‌n' in Google).

Here is another scam:

"Hey! I compromised your account and gained full access to it. As proof, I just sent this email from your account only (notice the from email address is ).

Let me tell you exactly how did this happen. You visited a compromised adult website sometime back, and you got infected, and then I observed every action of yours. It gave me access to all of your contacts, browsing history, your passwords, your webcam, and even your microphone.

I noticed you were trying to please yourself by watching one of those nasty videos, well my son, I recorded your actions (thanks to your webcam) and even recorded your screen (the video you were watching). Now, if you do nothing, then I will send this video to all of your email, social media and messenger contacts.

You have the option to prevent me from doing all of this. All you need to do is to make the transfer of $996 to my bitcoin address. If you don't know how to make the transfer, search google for "buy bitcoin." It is quick and easy. Trust me.

My bitcoin address to which you need to transfer is 1NQnzYFBjomFp98LzD3DGXdMvKjpuegfuy

Once I receive the transfer (i.e payment), I will delete your video and everything I have about you, and you will never hear a word from me again. My malware will also self destruct itself once I get the payment. You have 48 hours to make the payment. As I mentioned earlier, I have full access to your system. Now I know that you have read the email, so your time starts now. If you are thinking about filing a complaint, save your efforts, since it will not result in anything. This email is untraceable, remember it been sent using your account only?

Don't think about sharing this message either because in that case, I will send your video to all of your contacts.

"Security Notice. [] was hacked! Change your password now!

Dear user of !

I am a spyware software developer.
Your account has been hacked by me in the summer of 2018.

I understand that it is hard to believe, but here is my evidence - I sent you this email from your account.

The hacking was carried out using a hardware vulnerability through which you went online (Cisco router, vulnerability CVE-2018-0296).

I went around the security system in the router, installed an exploit there.
When you went online, my exploit downloaded my malicious code (rootkit) to your device.
This is driver software, I constantly updated it, so your antivirus is silent all time.

Since then I have been following you (I can connect to your device via the VNC protocol).

That is, I can see absolutely everything that you do, view and download your files and any data to yourself.
I also have access to the camera on your device, and I periodically take photos and videos with you.

At the moment, I have harvested a solid dirt... on you...
I saved all your email and chats from your messangers. I also saved the entire history of the sites you visit.

I note that it is useless to change the passwords. My malware update passwords from your accounts every times.

I know what you like hard funs (adult sites).
Oh, yes .. I'm know your secret life, which you are hiding from everyone.
Oh my God, what are your like... I saw THIS ... Oh, you dirty naughty person ... :)

I took photos and videos of your most passionate funs with adult content, and synchronized them in real time with the image of your camera.
Believe it turned out very high quality!

So, to the business!
I'm sure you don't want to show these files and visiting history to all your contacts.

Transfer $775 to my Bitcoin cryptocurrency wallet: 14VbGhtysr6wrNs7EhdKiS2NoMmMDBM8cn
Just copy and paste the wallet number when transferring.
If you do not know how to do this - ask Google.

My system automatically recognizes the translation.
As soon as the specified amount is received, all your data will be destroyed from my server, and the rootkit will be automatically removed from your system.
Do not worry, I really will delete everything, since I am 'working' with many people who have fallen into your position.
You will only have to inform your provider about the vulnerabilities in the router so that other hackers will not use it.

Since opening this letter you have 48 hours.
If funds not will be received, after the specified time has elapsed, the disk of your device will be formatted,
and from my server will automatically send email and sms to all your contacts with compromising material.

I advise you to remain prudent and not engage in nonsense (all files on my server).

Good luck!"

My nickname in darknet is cointon77.

So, your password from is

Even if you changed the password after that - it does not matter, my virus intercepted all the caching data on your computer

I have access to all your accounts, social networks, email, browsing history.
Accordingly, I have the data of all your contacts, files from your computer, photos and videos.

I was most struck by the intimate content sites that you occasionally visit.
You have a very wild imagination, I tell you!

During your pastime and entertainment there, I took screenshot through the camera of your device, synchronizing with what you are watching.
Oh my god! You are so funny and excited!

I think that you do not want all your contacts to get these files, right?
If you are of the same opinion, then I think that $827 is quite a fair price to destroy the dirt I created.

Send the above amount on my BTC wallet (bitcoin): 1EZS92K4xJbymDLwG4F7PNF5idPE62e9XY
As soon as the above amount is received, I guarantee that the data will be deleted, I do not need it.

Otherwise, these files and history of visiting sites will get all your contacts from your device.
Also, I'll send to everyone your contact access to your email and access logs, I have carefully saved it!

Since reading this letter you have 48 hours!
After your reading this message, I'll receive an automatic notification that you have seen the letter.

I hope I taught you a good lesson.
Do not be so nonchalant, please visit only to proven resources, and don't enter your passwords anywhere!
Good luck!"

I've had this email today and yesterday.
I tried to block it but couldn't as it came up as sent from my email address. How is this possible?

Here is another scam:

"I do know one of your pass. Lets get straight to purpose. You do not know me and you're most likely thinking why you're getting this e-mail? Absolutely no one has compensated me to check you.

Let me tell you, I setup a software on the X vids (porno) website and do you know what, you visited this web site to experience fun (you know what I mean). When you were viewing videos, your web browser started out working as a Remote Desktop having a key logger which provided me with access to your screen and web cam. Just after that, my software program obtained your complete contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, and e-mail . And then I made a video. First part displays the video you were watching (you've got a good taste haha), and next part shows the view of your web camera, & its u.

You actually have just two solutions. We are going to read the possibilities in aspects:

First solution is to skip this email. In such a case, I will send out your tape to every single one of your personal contacts and thus visualize about the disgrace yo u will see. And consequently should you be in a romance, how it would affect?

2nd choice is to give me $6000. I will think of it as a donation. Consequently, I most certainly will promptly erase your videotape. You could keep on going your life like this never happened and you will never hear back again from me.

You'll make the payment via Bitcoin (if you don't know this, search "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).

BTC Address to send to: 1Dwvuy5v6hSS9qag75GmnM16KgdYbTrPJG
[case SENSITIVE so copy and paste it]

If you are making plans for going to the cop, okay, this e-mail cannot be traced back to me. I have taken care of my moves. I am also not looking to ask you for money a whole lot, I want to be rewarded.

You now have one day in order to make the payment. I've a unique pixel within this message, and at this moment I know that you have read this email message. If I don't receive the BitCoins, I will, no doubt send your video to all of your contacts including family members, coworkers, and so on. Having said that, if I do get paid, I will erase the video immediately. If you need proof, reply Yeah! then I definitely will send out your video recording to your 6 contacts. It is a non:negotiable offer that being said don't waste mine time & yours by replying to this email message."

Here is another scam:

"Hi, dear user of

We have installed one RAT software into you device.

For this moment your email account is hacked (see on , I messaged you from your account).

Your password for

I have downloaded all confidential information from your system and I got some more evidence.

The most interesting moment that I have discovered are videos records where you m**********g.

I posted my virus on p**n site, and then you installed it on your operation system.
When you clicked the button Play on p**n video, at that moment my trojan was downloaded to your device.

After installation, your front camera shoots video every time you m********e, in addition, the software is synchronized with the video you choose.

For the moment, the software has collected all your contact information from social networks and email addresses.
If you need to erase all of your collected data, send me $800 in BTC (crypto currency).

This is my Bitcoin wallet: 1HqUfvPooEY3fQPsuM4dRzq5uzTQjDoYpt
You have 48 hours after reading this letter.

After your transaction I will erase all your data.
Otherwise, I will send video with your pranks to all your colleagues and friends!!!

And henceforth be more careful!
Please visit only secure sites!
Bye!"

I received this email 4 days ago, so two days past its deadline. No issues yet, however, it still had/has me worried. It came to my work emails address. It doesn’t look like my email leaked through one of the breaches on the pwnd website.

I also was on one of this sites earlier that day on my iPhone. About 6 hours before I got the email. Is that just a coincidence? Also is the iPhone more secure than a pc?

by info

It is just a coincidence. I have received a few of these emails and I have never been on those websites.

The information being sent in the email may have been stolen from a Yahoo or Internet giant hack that took place a few years ago. But, users were informed about the hack and were forced to change their passwords.

When it comes to email security, you cannot make a distinction between the iPhone or PC. This is because emails are stored and managed in the cloud. An app on the iPhone or PC is then used to retrieve the emails so you may see them on your mobile device. So, your email provider should ensure that your email account is secured.
