Hi, I got the following email in my junk mail....
"This is important information for you!
Some months ago I hacked your OS and got full access to your account xxxxxx@hotmail.co.uk
On day of hack your account xxxxxxx@hotmail.co.uk has password: xxxxxxxxx
So, you can change the password, yes.. Or already changed... But my malware intercepts it every time.
How I made it:
In the software of the router, through which you went online, was a vulnerability. I used it...
If you interested you can read about it: CVE-2019-1663 - a vulnerability in the web-based management interface of the Cisco routers.
I just hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
When you went online, my trojan was installed on the OS of your device.
After that, I made a full backup of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts)."
They then go on about me viewing shocking porn, blah blah blah.
My only concern is the password they mention is one I would have used, although I cannot recall which site I would have logged in with it. It's not my Windows password.
My security setup it Emsisoft AM & browser security, OSArmour and adwcleaner on demand.
Scans report clean. I guess they got my details from the site, not my system as they claim?
