+
+While watching [Weird Science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Science_(film)) for the hundredth time today, I noticed this amazing image hanging on Wyatt's wall:
+
+<figure>
+  <image src="/images/updates/wave-original.jpg" />
+  <figcaption>Catch the Wave!<figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+I don't know how I've missed it all these years (although I suspect it was because I'd never watched a high-def version before). I've long been a fan of the original [Great Wave off Kanagawa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa) woodblock print, and have enjoyed the many images that [parody](https://www.reddit.com/r/GODZILLA/comments/xzi07/godzilla_in_the_great_wave_off_kanagawa/) and/or [were inspired by](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=426620) it, but I'd never seen one with such a great "digital" look to it, and I was curious to find out how it came to be.
+
+Apparently, it was made by a design agency called [Grafik](https://grafik.agency/insight/waveofthefuture/) in 1981 for a computer trade show. The amazing thing is that, despite its appearance (and intended use), it wasn't actually computer-generated at all, and was instead created by meticulously coloring each square by hand... *with pencils*.
+
+"The Wave of the Future", indeed.
+
+Fortunately, I was able to find a larger version of it, and now, thanks to the power of the internet (and, in particular, reddit user [acoolrocket](https://www.reddit.com/user/acoolrocket)), I'm happy to have this image on my laptop as my  [wallpaper](https://www.reddit.com/r/outrun/comments/agjn07/wave_of_the_future/). Too cool!

+tldr: I've received some more emails telling me that I've been hacked. Since I still don't believe them, I thought I'd make fun of another one instead.

+
+Since my last post about [script-kiddies using spam to try and commit fake extortion](/journal/2018/12-03-hacked), I've recevived plenty of other threatenting emails from lamers, so here's another one from the (spam) vault:
+
+> From: [redacted-address]<br />
+> To: [redacted-address]<br />
+> Subject: Security Warning. Third party accessed to [redacted-address].
+> 
+> Hello!
+> 
+> I'm is very good coder.
+
+Just not much of a writer, apparently.
+
+> I am known by my nickname finn29.
+
+Look, man - I've known [The Finn](http://williamgibson.wikia.com/wiki/The_Finn) since 1984. And you, sir, are not The Finn.
+
+> I hacked this mailbox more than six months ago,<br />
+> through it I infected your operating system with a virus (trojan) created by me and have been spying for you a very long time.
+
+Somehow, I find this hard to believe.
+
+> I understand it is hard to believe, but you can check it yourself.<br />
+> I'm sent this e-mail from your account. Try it yourself.
+
+No, "you're" didn't send this email from my account. In fact, if I had to guess, you tried to send it from your parents' basement (which I have the IP for, by the way), but my [SPF rules](/journal/2016/12-12-failing-me-softly.html) caught it, flagged it, and dumped it into my spam folder. As they should have.
+
+> Even if you changed the password after that - it does not matter, my virus intercepted all the caching data on your computer<br />
+> and automatically saved access for me.
+
+I think you've been watching too much **CSI: Cyber**.
+
+> I have access to all your accounts, social networks, email, browsing history.<br />
+> Accordingly, I have the data of all your contacts, files from your computer, photos and videos.
+
+Oh noes, all of the contacts stored on my computer? What is this, 1998?
+
+> I was most struck by the intimate content sites that you occasionally visit.<br />
+> You have a very wild imagination, I tell you!
+
+I do, actually, but not in the way you want.
+
+> During your pastime and entertainment there, I took screenshot through the camera of your device, synchronizing with what you are watching.<br />
+> Oh my god! You are so funny and excited!
+
+I don't even know what to say to that.
+
+> I think that you do not want all your contacts to get these files, right?<br />
+> If you are of the same opinion, then I think that $643 is quite a fair price to destroy the dirt I created.
+
+$600 to erase the pictures and videos you don't have? What a bargain!
+
+> Send the above amount on my BTC wallet (bitcoin): 19kXyFbvetft819v4QV5g9vzrjwNqRtvgA<br />
+> As soon as the above amount is received, I guarantee that the data will be deleted, I do not need it.
+
+Well, you seem trustworthy, so I'm sure I can believe your "guarantee".
+
+> Otherwise, these files and history of visiting sites will get all your contacts from your device.<br />
+> Also, I'll send to everyone your contact access to your email and access logs, I have carefully saved it!
+
+I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out what he's saying here, but I just can't make sense of it.
+
+> Since reading this letter you have 48 hours!<br />
+> After your reading this message, I'll receive an automatic notification that you have seen the letter.
+
+Doubtful, since it's now been 96 hours since you sent the message, and my contacts still haven't received anything from you. I mean, me. Whatever.
+
+> I hope I taught you a good lesson.<br />
+> Do not be so nonchalant, please visit only to proven resources, and don't enter your passwords anywhere!<br />
+> Good luck!
+
+Indeed, you have taught me a lesson: how not to extort money from someone.
