Since my last few posts about script-kiddies and the [fake extortions](/journal/2018/12-03-hacked) [they try to commit](/journal/2019/11-27-hacked-again), I've received upwards of 50 such emails, each with a different bitcoin address, and many with slight differences in text, style, or form, but all basically the same: an email from myself (*gasp*) claiming that I have been hacked, that some non-descript OS or "device" I own has some magical virus installed on it, and that, if I don't pay the hacker a ransom in bitcoin, my life will be *ruined*.

However, I know from past experience that these messages are little more than spam, sent out en masse in hopes that they can rope in some poor sucker who falls for this. I know most of these are bogus from the beginning because the email I use for my phone is completely unrelated to the ones that keep receiving these messages. Other times, the email will make vague references to programs I don't even have installed, again betraying their carboon-copied nature. In truth, I have never paid ransom, even though I've personally received dozens of these messages, and my life has yet to be ruined by these *lamers*.

So, as a public service, I have included the bitcoin addresses for these fakers, in hopes that some other would-be victim finds this page (possibly through a web search), and they learn that they can ignore this BS as well:

Again, if you received an ominous email about your device being hacked and it uses one of these bitcoin addresses, just know that I received one of those messages, too, and I never paid. Since I'm still here, posting this, obviously none of their doomsday prophecies came to pass - no mass email to my contacts, no embarassing footage, no ruined life... and no hacked device.
