Lažne grožnje s smrtjo po elektronski pošti
Kot pišejo VARNINAINTERNETU.SI so pred časom smo obveščali o lažnem izsiljevanju po elektronski pošti, pri katerem vam grozijo, da bodo vašim kontaktom poslali vaše intimne posnetke, ki so jih pridobili preko okužbe računalnika. Prvi izsiljevalci s temi sporočili so se pojavili v začetku leta 2018, od takrat pa so dobili že množico posnemovalcev, ki si vedno izmišljajo nove načine, kako prestrašiti uporabnike, da bi jim nakazali zahtevani znesek.
Zadnje variante teh lažnih sporočil, ki so jih prejeli tudi nekateri slovenski uporabniki, so še posebej strašljive. V eni zadnjih variant, ki jo prepoznamo pod imenom “hitman”, nam izsiljevalci sporočajo, da jih je nekdo najel zato, da nas “pospravijo” s tega sveta. Vendar pa nam kot žrtvi dajejo možnost, da nas pustijo pri življenju, če jim plačamo nekaj tisoč evrov, seveda v eni izmed kriptovalut.
Primer lažnega izsiljevalskega sporočila vrste “hitman”:
What's up. I have got a private web site with all kinds of offerings that i give in dark side of the internet. All sorts of things from entirely wrecking a person's business to human accidents and so on, however almost nothing significant like eliminating. Most of the time it's some shit like declined relationships or competition on the job.Anyway i have been previously reached this week by individual to place an purchase and also particular target is not surprisingly you. In a fast and painless fashion.The simple truth is i only get compensated following each completed job and choice to contact you before, to be able to pay off me for being non-active which i often proffer the victim.However,if i do not obtain what i'm requesting,my executer will carry out the request. But in case if we'll make an agreement, besides eliminating the request you are going to obtain complete information relating to the client that i have discovered. Immediately after the purchase is complete,I often eliminate the operator as well, as a result i have a choice, to get 1200 from you, basically with no effort, or to get four thousand from the customer, yet to get rid of my operator. I am obtaining exchanges only through Btc aka bitcoin , its my bitcoin transaction address - [naslov bitcoin denarnice] You now have 18 hrs . to transmit funds.
Drug primer lažnih izsiljevalskih sporočil pa je bolj namenjen podjetjem in pravi, da je v poslovnih prostorih podtaknjena bomba, ki jo bodo aktivirali, v kolikor ne bo podjetje plačalo zahtevanega zneska. Spodaj je primer lažnega sporočila, ki so ga objavili na spletni strani www.bleepingcomputer.com:
I write you to inform you that my man has hidden the bomb (tronitrotoluene)
in the building where your company is located. My mercenary built a bomb
according to my instructions. It is compact and it is hidden very carefully,
it is impossible to destroy the structure of the building by my bomb, but in
the case of its detonation there will be many wounded people.
My mercenary is controlling the situation around the building. If he sees
any strange activity or cops he will blow up the device.
I can call off my mercenary if you make a transfer. You pay me 20'000 usd
in Bitcoin and explosive will not detonate, but do not try to fool me -I
assure you that I have to call off my recruited person solely after 3
confirmations in blockchain.
Ne glede na grožnje v sporočilih pa je vsem skupno to, da gre vedno za lažna sporočila, katerih edini namen je finančno okoriščanje napadalcev. Gre za enostaven a učinkovit način prevare, saj se uporabniki takih sporočil pogosto zelo prestrašijo, če ne poznajo in ne vedo, kaj stoji za njimi.
Taka sporočila se obravnavajo kot vsaka druga neželena pošta (spam). V večini primerov jih blokirajo že antispam filtri na poštnih strežnikih, vsake toliko pa se lahko kakšno znajde v vašem inboxu. V tem primeru ga lahko enostavno izbrišete. V kolikor pa se kdo od prejemnikov ob prejetem sporočila čuti neposredno ogroženega, torej iz svojega življenja pozna razloge za take grožnje, pa naj to vsekakor prijavi policiji.
