Britons were warned about the new way of online fraud: scammers claim to have gained access to the Webcams of users and captured on video as they masturbate. It is reported by The Sun
the Scammers threaten their victims that send these videos to all their friends in Facebook and all the contacts with whom they communicated via e-mail, if you do not get fifteen thousand pounds (about 142 thousand rubles at current exchange rate).
Threats of the attackers are not real: they send thousands of identical emails in the hope that someone of the users will believe them. It is noted that this method of fraud appeared long ago, but recently has become popular again with the introduction of the pandemic coronavirus measures of isolation.
Earlier in April, it was reported that scammers have begun to use footage from the First news channel to data theft of Bank cards of Russians. The scammers claimed that every citizen can supposedly get up to 300 rubles, if you enter your card details (including CVV code) on a non-existent organization.
