내 개인 메일주소로 "account was hacked" 라는 제목의 메일이 한 통 들어왔다.

응? 뭐? 진짜??

당황했지만 나는 한국사람인데 영어로 메일 보내는게 이상하잖아?

첨부파일이 있나없나부터 확인하고 메일을 열어봤다.

Hello!

I'm a member of an international hacker group.

As you could probably have guessed, your account 내 개인메일 주소 was hacked, because I sent message you from it.

Now I have access to you accounts!

For example, your password for 내 개인메일 주소 is ************

Within a period from July 7, 2018 to September 23, 2018, you were infected by the virus we've created, through an adult website you've visited.

So far, we have access to your messages, social media accounts, and messengers.

Moreover, we've gotten full damps of these data.

We are aware of your little and big secrets...yeah, you do have them. We saw and recorded your doings on porn websites. Your tastes are so weird, you know..

But the key thing is that sometimes we recorded you with your webcam, syncing the recordings with what you watched!

I think you are not interested show this video to your friends, relatives, and your intimate one...

Transfer $700 to our Bitcoin wallet: 뭐라뭐라 적힌 비트코인 월렛

If you don't know about Bitcoin please input in Google "buy BTC". It's really easy.

I guarantee that after that, we'll erase all your "data" :)

A timer will start once you read this message. You have 48 hours to pay the above-mentioned amount.

Your data will be erased once the money are transferred.

If they are not, all your messages and videos recorded will be automatically sent to all your contacts found on your devices at the moment of infection.

You should always think about your security.

We hope this case will teach you to keep secrets.

Take care of yourself.

우선 중간에 별표로 마스킹 되어있는 구간에는 실제로 내가 한때 썼던 비밀번호가 적혀있었다.

그런데 굉장히 예전 비밀번호인데..?

아무튼간에 이걸 알고있다는게 놀라웠다. 이걸 알아낸게 이 글로벌 사기꾼들의 영업비밀이겠지.

그리고 다른 내용을 보면...

내가 뭘 봤다고? 그걸 니가 안다고?

뭐라도 볼걸 좀 보내주고 이 메일을 보냈더라면 정말 식겁했을텐데. 뭐라도 봤었으면 걱정을 했을텐데.....

진짜 이런 메일 나만 받은건가 싶어서 구글링을 해봤다.

아니었다!

$700 보낼 생각도 없긴 했지만 아무튼 스캠 메일이라고 한다.
