지난주에 받은 영문 메일이 있습니다. 전혀 모르는 송신 이메일 주소였고 제목 또한 Bill for Payment 청구서라니 사기의 냄새가 진하게 나는 메일이었습니다.
Greetings!
I have got two not really pleasant news for you.
I have been monitoring your internet activities for some time by now.
예의 바르게 인사를 해 놓고선 곧바로 본색을 드러내는 메일 내용입니다.
간략한 내용은
성인 사이트에 드나들 때 컴퓨터를 스파이웨어로 바이러스에 감염시켜서, 컴퓨터를 모니터링하고 있었고 지난주에 자위를 하는 것을 녹화해 놨으니 이메일에 적은 비트코인 지갑에 1450달러를 입금하면 동영상을 안 풀고, 2일 안에 입금 안 하면 주변 인물들에게 동영상을 보내겠다는 협박성 내용이었습니다.
일단 "지난주"라는 말에, 기억이 뚜렷한 너무 가까운 과거의 행동을 제시해 일단은 안심을 했습니다. ㅋ. 그리고 또하나 자기들이 정말 그런 동영상이 있다면 최소한 캡처된 이미지도 같이 보내, 확실히 겁을 줄 수 있었을 텐데 그러지 못한 것은 더욱 사기라는 확신이 되었습니다.
그래서 구글을 통해 비트코인 지갑 번호를 검색해 보니 역시나 많은 사람들이 이 피싱 이메일을 수신한 것을 알 수 있었습니다.
조금 더 호기심이 생겨 보낸 이메일 도메인 (mohins.com)이 어떤 곳인가 알아 봤습니다. 이 주소로 이동하기 전에 의심스러운 곳이므로 일단 사이트 주소 검사를 해 보았습니다. 다행히 별 이상은 없어 보입니다.
이메일 포털 사이트일 줄 알았는데, 그건 아닌것 같습니다. 아랍어가 나와 영어로 변경해 봤습니다.
보험 회사네요... 이메일 주소도 해킹을 했을 수 있겠습니다.
결론은 이런 피싱, 사기 이메일은 쫄 필요가 전혀 없을 것 같습니다. 혹시나 앞으로도 이런 이메일로 가슴 졸이지 말라고 정보 공유 차원에서 포스팅해 봅니다.
아래는 이메일 내용 전문입니다.
Greetings!
I have got two not really pleasant news for you. I have been monitoring your internet activities for some time by now. The only person to blame in this situation is you, since you are a big fan of adult websites and also have got an uncontrollable desire to indulge yourself with another orgasm. Simply speaking, all your porn websites search requests have become a key to access your device. The thing is that I word in a company that provides services related to security and performance of email providers, including ********** as well. During the pandemic outbreak a lot of providers have faced difficulties in maintaining a huge number of staff in their offices and so they have decided to use outsourcing instead. While working remotely from home, I have got unlimited abilities to access the user databases. I can easily decrypt passwords of users, access their chat history and online traffic with help of cookie-files. I have decided to analyse users traffic related to adult websites and adult content. I was truly shocked to discover that nearly 75% of users regularly access porn websites or participates in sex chats. I have filtered out the worst perverts from the list. Yeah, you are one of them. Not everyone chooses to watch such hardcore videos... Basically, I have infected your device with one of the best Trojan viruses in the market. It was relatively easy, since I have access to your email address (*********@**********). It was sufficient to prepare one of your routine emails asking you to click the harmful link... My spyware functions as a driver. Hence, I can fully control your device and have access to your microphone, camera, cursor and set of symbols. Generally speaking, your device is some sort of my remote PC. Since this spyware is driver-based, then I can constantly update its signatures, so that no antivirus can detect it. While digging through your hard drive, I have saved your entire contact list, social media access, chat history and media files. One week ago, I have montaged a videoclip, which shows you masturbating on one side of the screen and on the other side a porn video that you were watching at that moment of time - recently this type of exotic stuff is really popular on the internet! Don't worry, I will need just a few mouse clicks in order to share this video with your entire contact list and upload it to some porn website, like Bigle. I believe that you would not like this to happen, since a long holiday season is just about to start soon - just imagine the number of silly jokes and loud laughter that would get provoked by your video all over the neighbourhood bars and pubs... I am offering a simple and reasonable solution: All you need to do is transfer an amount equivalent to $1450 (USA Dollars) to my bitcoin wallet and we both forget about this silly story forever. All your data and this video will be deleted by me once and for all. You have my honest word! You've got to agree, this amount is really insignificant. Just imagine how much time and resources I have spent to get this done... If you don't know how to operate the cryptocurrency - you can always search for assistance online. It is that simple. Here is my bitcoin wallet (BTC): 1LsTK4bKaUGMXg****n3Vc7quu6UvATjfz You have exactly 2 days (48 hours) from the moment of opening this email. I can easily track when you have opened this email (my software will notify me about it). Once you complete the transaction - I will be able to see and confirm that. Please, do not try replying me via this email - there is no point in that (I have generated the header of this email as well as return address). Remember that there is no point to complain anywhere, since I cannot be found (Bitcoin system is anonymous and I am also using I2P network in order to access your device). I have considered all the small details. In case, if 48 hours after you have opened this email, I still don't receive the required amount of money, then your videoclip will be automatically sent to all your contact list and uploaded to public websites. Good luck and please don't hate me too much! This is life! You are merely out of luck this time. Who knows, maybe next time you will get lucky at something else...
대부분의 노트북에 달려 있는 웹카메라, 웹캠 등이 해킹되는 경우가 많다고 합니다. 소프트웨어적으로 백신 등을 이용해 막는 방법도 있으나 더 확실한 방법은 물리적으로 안보이게 하면 그만인 것 같습니다. 이런 액세서리 제품을 팔고는 있으나 굳이 이런 것 까지 살 필요는 없을 것으로 보입니다. 간단하게 두꺼운 종이를 이용해 위처럼 만들면
이렇게 얹어서 사용할 수 있습니다. 평소에는 이렇게 쓰다가, 웹캠이 필요할 때만 내리면 되겠습니다. 색이나 디자인은 좀 더 깔끔하게 하면 더 좋을 것 같습니다.
