A sextortion scam involving cryptocurrency was reported on 16 September 2026. E-mail frauduleux reçu : Hello, I have some bad news. A few months ago, I gained access to your email account and the devices you use to access it. Since then, I have been monitoring your online activity. I also managed to install software that allegedly gives me access to your camera, microphone, files, messages, browsing history, and other information. During this time, I collected material that could be embarrassing if shared with other people. I can share this material with your colleagues, friends, and relatives, or publish it online. To prevent that, I am demanding USD 1,250 in cryptocurrency. Payment address (btc wallet): bc1qzv4t3d5dld9p9jddjq2rc35jcwvptgcctsd4zq You have 48 hours from opening this message. Do not reply to this email, contact anyone about it, or attempt to investigate the source. There is no point in trying to remove the software—the information has allegedly already been copied. Consider this your final warning. Wallet addresses linked to this report: bitcoin: bc1qzv4t3d5dld9p9jddjq2rc35jcwvptgcctsd4zq Do not send money or cryptocurrency to anyone connected to this report. If you have already paid, contact your bank or exchange and report the incident to your national fraud authority.
