Good day,

If you had been more careful while caressing yourself, I wouldn’t worry about you. I don’t think that playing with yourself is very bad, but when all your colleagues, relatives and friends get a video recording of it – it is definitely bad for you.

I placed malicious software on a website for adults (with porn) which was visited by you. When the target taps on a play button, your device starts recording the screen and all cameras on your device begin to work.

Moreover, my program allows a remote desktop connection with keylogger function from the device, so I could collect all contacts from your e-mail, messengers and other social networks. I’m writing on this e-mail cuz it’s your working address, so you must check it.

I suppose that three hundred twenty usd is good enough for this little misstep. I made a split screen video (recorded from your screen (u have interesting tastes ) and camera ooooooh… its awful AF)

So it’s your choice. If you want me to erase this compromising evidence, use my Bitcoin wallet address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX You have one day after opening my message; I put a special tracking pixel in it, so when you will open it I will see. If you want me to show you the proofs, reply to this message and I will send my creation to five contacts that I got from your contacts.

P.S. You can try to complain to the police, but I don’t think that they can help, the investigation will last for 5 month- I’m from Ukraine – so I dgf lmao
