Hi. someone sent me an email claiming he saw my face while watching porn. But my camera is broken. Today he sent another e-mail with my email address and password on it. For some times I had a messages on my G-mail account which is linked to Outlook (The one which the hacker reached me) sending the code to sign in. I didn’t care at first thinking it was my old outlook email with the same Id.
I am not worried or anything, but annoyed as he got access to my information. What should I do? I changed my password.
Very common scam. They’ll say they have recorded you doing something embarrassing and will leak it if you don’t send them money. They will also allow you your email address and “password” to try and scare you into thinking they’ve hacked you. The password they have will have been from one of the major password leaks that’s happened in the past.
Anything that uses that password shown on the email, change it. Then enable 2 factor authentication (2FA) where possible.
