This site is compromised! Warning!

[cbxer66]

I view many different sites every day. I use a different password for each. The password I use for this site, and this site alone, has been the subject line in two emails the past two days. They claim to have infiltrated my computer with spyware, which I have the best security system money can buy. I doubt it. I also use Windows Malicious software removal tool more than once a month. It's not likely. I ran a full scan today, nothing.

They want me to send $2000 in bitcoin to some unknown address. WTF is bitcoin? They claim to know my browsing history for the past 191 days. They claim to have video of me beating off to porn. They claim they got access to my computer via the porn site, which is https, secure. The camera on my computer has been covered with a piece of black duct tape for over five years. LOL!! So they are full of it. They claim if they don't get the money, they will publish the video. LMAO! Think I care? Everyone and their mother knows I beat it. I am single and live alone. How else am I getting off? I don't give flying fuck. I play with my ass a lot too. ;-)

I think maybe every one should change their password here. This is the only unsecure site I go to daily, it's not https. https means secure. This site isn't. I'm not too concerned since the password for his site is for this site alone. If I change it, they'll probably know anyways.

I deleted the malicious emails without replying. Best thing you can do. They're fishing.

Maybe this site should go https. Maybe I should request my id here be deleted and not come back. Anyone else get this type of email? I've heard of it before. First time for me.

Just be aware.

My wife got a similar email... and we both laughed our asses off when we got to the part where they threatened to expose her porn viewing and that other nonsense... and my wife doesn't watch porn and there are no cameras attached to our computers. I allowed that a lot of data has been ripped off and being sold all over the place so seeing such a threatening email is sure to get a lot of people upset. I'm a retired systems engineer... computer systems engineer. I know software and my sub-specialty was anti-virus/anti-malware and, of course all of our devices are protected by the best software money can buy to prevent intrustions, eliminate spam, spyware, etc.. So, using those skills, I found the IP address that the email originated from, informed the ISP that owns the address, and let Microsoft know since an outlook.com address was used in this bullshit; it was reported to the appropriate US federal agencies as well.

The sad part is a lot of people will get this email and think the threat is real - and that's what the idiots who send these thing are hoping for and some people will fall victim to this particular scam. If this bullshit doesn't do anything else, it should make everyone be more aware that their online data can be stolen from pretty much anywhere; one of my doctor's site got hacked a week ago but no data stolen. It should remind everyone to protect all of their devices capable of going online, from computers to phones and use the protection software to scan your devices regularly if the software doesn't do it by itself. Use browsers that can go into incognito mode so you can browse without being tracked and having data stored on your device; if you visit a website and your software says it's bad, well, don't go there or bypass the warning. Oh, and, of course, if you don't have any protection software, get some - there's a lot of good programs and apps that are free but for the best protection, buy the good stuff and keep it updated. Also, keep your phone's operating system updated; those that get frequent updates also includes security updates that closes any holes that have been discovered. A lot of people are using VPNs - virtual private networks - and if you're thinking about getting one, pay attention to how the VPN is supposed to protect your data - they're not all the same and some packages with the best protection could be kinda expensive.

The "bad news" is that any site can be compromised at any time and there's nothing you can do about that other than to make sure your devices are protected. For home computers with internet connectivity - and especially wireless - check with your provider to see if they offer protection software and/or ask them what they're doing to prevent intrusions. Got an old router? Ditch it and get a new one; many either have built-in protection or offers add-on products to help keep your home network safe and secure. And I'll leave you with a piece of information a lot of people aren't aware of.

A lot of people get their routers hacked because by default, access to the router itself has a username of "admin" and the password is "password" - and few people know about this or that one of the first things they should do after installing a new router is to change that password to something else. With most routers, you can open a browser and type in http://192.168.0.1 to access the router and if you can type in "admin" and "password" in the appropriate spots, well, look around in there and find where you can change that - and change it... and don't forget what you changed it to.

Don't assume you're gonna be safe on the Internet - do what you gotta do to keep yourself safe.

SCAM ALERT!!
SCAMMER!! CHIT CAN THE EMAIL!

[cbxer66]

I did shitcan the emails. I read them and didn't respond to them. And yes, I know they are scam. I just found it interesting that the title of the emails was my password for this site. The only site I use that particular password for. Don't any of you find that peculiar? And this being the only non-secure, non https site I frequent.

Change my password? Why? They obtained it easily enough. Somehow. This is the only site I use that password for. I've been watching and no posts or activity has occurred that I didn't do. I use a different password for each site that I visit. No two alike.

I'll keep an eye on it.

[cbxer66]

I now realize the password is not for this site. Frankly, I can't even remember what my password for this site is. LOL! It's an old password that I no longer use. There may be one or two sites out there I haven't visited in years and cannot remember what they are. All the other sites I regularly visit had to do resets do to their security being compromised and they all required all users to change their password as they went from non-secure to secure.

Anyhow, they haven't contacted me the last two days. Guess they finally figured their scam didn't work with me. I never respond to unsolicited emails. Worst thing you can do.

[NjbiGuy01]

I have to admit, they have totally legit told me one of the passwords I use, which is disconcerting, but all the other stuff in the e-mail is laughable...

[KDaddy23]

With my wife, they cited an old password she doesn't use for anything anymore, too, and chances are good she stopped using it was because her data was reported stolen from Walmart's website quite a while ago now... so she changed all her important passwords. The idiots did send her a second email renewing their threat and, I think, asking for even more Bitcoin - she deleted it and hasn't seen another one... and probably won't.

[cbxer66]

Some asshole with a different sender name, sent me another today. LMAO!!

Deleted it without replying.

[FredGillard]

This has happened to a friend of ours, my wife, and me a couple of times. The scary part is they do seem to have passwords that we've used, but not in the recent past, so we ignore them. I guess the key is to change your passwords reasonably regularly. When our friend got it the first time he freaked out. He soon thought, you know what, they can see me jacking off, so what, most people do! ROFL

[cbxer66]

I know. I don't care about them seeing me doing that. The fact is they can't, since the camera lens is covered with black duct tape. LMAO!!

[Coastocoast]

Yea and the last post prior to today's was 7 months old.

Hello everybody. Judging by the average prices for the year, - Bitcoin has been growing in price from year to year, why should 2021 be an exception? .. I'm sure that the 21st will be the year of new highs for Bitcoin. But, as usual, there is always a drop of ointment on any barrel of honey, of course, it will not do without falls, but, friends, let's be optimists, and we will use any price drop to replenish our reserves of "digital gold". So I wanted to ask if this https://switchere.com/exchange/usd-to-eth is a reliable service or not? Maybe you know something about this site or how to check its reliability.

I don't use Windows or Goggle and the web address for Bisexual.com is https. in my browser

If there is one Wish I want for Christmas, PLEASE LET IT BE A . . . . Quick and Merciful .45 Caliber shot to the base of the Skull of Bisexual.com. Please!

[ClassicPaCpl]

I too got that email about 6 months ago... I simply changed all my adult site passwords and ignored it.. Nothing ever happened

[cbxer66]

Yeah, nothing ever happened with me either. I just kept deleting them. They finally gave up sending them. Might not have even been this site. Who knows.

The "bad news" is that any site can be compromised at any time and there's nothing you can do about that other than to make sure your devices are protected.

Run Linux here, two different open source antivirus programs one being military grade. I have a root password/phrase that's not been cracked in over 15 years by someone doing government level system admins. I also use root kit hunter. I visit mostly secured sites, don't use a mike or camera on my pc. The wife does have Google nest device here though. Um, not really concerned if the NSA hears me fussing at the television. *chuckles*

[Sigstache]

All my porn/site memberships are under completely seperate info from my normal online activity: different screen names, passwords, burner emails and never signed into from my home computer or wifi

[Jozyxt]

I run this type of activity on a VirtualBox Mint Linux machine. The machine is deleted periodically and replaced with a new download. All emails are sent to a completely separate account. For mobile access, I use an old phone that connects through wifi either at home or through my regular phone. A few passwords are stored in plain text in my normal system with only one letter as a clue to their use. All passwords are "high entropy." That is long and complex.

This setup keeps it very private within my network and very easy to make it disappear at short notice. Permanently delete the VBox and trash or sledgehammer the phone. Which seems sufficient as I don't anticipate any forensic searching for this activity.

[njfresh]

Some good suggestions here. An easy and often overlooked security measure is to create a separate admin account for your device. Access the internet through a normal user account without admin rights. It's not total protection, but it makes it harder to for someone to seize control of your device.
