Share and earn Cybytes
The “Sextortion” phishing scam makes use of compromised password data, recipient gullibility, and visits to porn websites to separate victims from their money.
The scam message comes from a supposed hacker who claims to have a) hacked your personal computer, b) installed software, c) and recorded you (via your webcam) while you were visiting, shall we say, a website of ill-repute.
