Users Webcam Attacked by Bitcoin Cyber-Bullying Fraudulent Scheme

A recent cyber-bullying fraud attempts to leak recordings of a user’s webcam until bitcoin is paid as ransom.  Members of the crypto society believe the email emerged from North Korea.

A huge bitcoin cyber-bullying fraud attempts to blackmail users by revealing videos from their webcam while browsing porn websites.

Reddit user UCLA Tommy initially informed the crypto society to a series of allegations about the cyber-bullying fraud posted on BitcoinAbuse.

Victims get an email request to pay $1,000 in bitcoin, to prevent getting their personal information exposed, as seen by multiple reports.

The email states that,

when you looked at ‘adult’ pages, I had a harmful virus infecting your computer and also capturing video clip of YOU (using your webcam).

The email admits to also have sole rights to the contacts list of the victim and intends to deliver pornographic videos to their friends until they pay the ransom.

The email reads,

What precisely do I want to make this whole thing disappear at this moment? Very well, at the start of the e-mail, I have already identified the specific request. I’m going to make your life miserable by sending the video clip to everyone you meet if you don’t complete it within twenty-four hours. Your duration is now beginning.

Members of the crypto society have reported the misspellings and terminology point of the email against the North Korean fraud. Users have been cautioned not to pay the ransom, because most of these frauds are false assaults.
