Beware of "threaten" email

[SuperTank]

I dun often look into my spam box, not sure why but i did today. I saw an email that is very disturbing that i think i got to share here and probably some advice if anyone come across such situation.

This was while i was browsing porn site which he did not mention which one. The e-mailer mention it hacked into my system, even displaying my password. The e-mailer said it has access to the front camera on my computer, able to see me while am watching porn. Seems like those CIA movie i had watched somewhere.

Then the e-mailer threaten me with a sum of figure to pay if not will send to my friends, seeing it i din really care and delete it. Anyway much details aren't remember since is such a lengthy grand nanny email.

So in real-life, is it really that easy to hack into a user system and access the camera on computer? If is so easy then aren't we all vulnerable? Anyway just sharing and a cautionary to bros here.

This is the most useful tips you can get. Just cover your webcam hole. And if you are watching porn online or even using it for SBF, use a junk email that doesn't affiliate to your "official" main email..

I get that email about once a week and my computer does not even have a cam.

While your case is a scam, but it is possible for a hacker to get access to your laptop or hp or device easily if u r not careful.

Going to a hacked website, or a fake wifi provider can make u v vulnerable to thr hacker.

For example, if u r in the public and u try to get access to free wifi such as Starbucks or some place. The hacker can set up his own free wifi service and just wait for someone to use it. Once he gets someone, he can get access to the device and everything. Its that scary.

Install 1.1.1.1 and turn on the built in VPN if you are connecting a public wifi network.
