We received a couple of email from customerHello! I'm a programmer who cracked your email account and device about half year ago. You entered a password on one of the insecure site you visited, and I catched it. Of course you can will change your password, or already made it. But it doesn't matter, my rat software update it every time. Please don't try to contact me or find me, it is impossible, since I sent you an email from your email account. Through your e-mail, I uploaded malicious code to your Operation System. I saved all of your contacts with friends, colleagues, relatives and a complete history of visits to the Internet resources. Also I installed a rat software on your device and long tome spying for you. You are not my only victim, I usually lock devices and ask for a ransom. But I was struck by the sites of intimate content that you very often visit. I am in shock of your reach fantasies! Wow! I've never seen anything like this! I did not even know that SUCH content could be so exciting! So, when you had fun on intime sites (you know what I mean!) I made screenshot with using my program from your camera of yours device. After that, I jointed them to the content of the currently viewed site. Will be funny when I send these photos to your contacts! And if your relatives see it? BUT I'm sure you don't want it. I definitely would not want to ... I will not do this if you pay me a little amount. I think $865 is a nice price for it! I accept only Bitcoins. My BTC wallet: If you have difficulty with this - Ask Google "how to make a payment on a bitcoin wallet". It's easy.

It spreads rapidly across the world and is expanding the infection. Here’s what you need to know about Petya/GoldenEye and how to prevent the attack: What Is Petya/GoldenEye?Similar to WannaCry, Petya uses the Eternal Blue exploit to infect Windows devices, especially older Windows systems. Not like WannaCry which encrypts the files one by one, Petya is much more dangerous that can damage the whole hard drive, even stop you entering your system. How Does Petya Attack Work?While Petya is trying to infect a computer, Blue Screen of Death can be a signal, then the system will reboot by force to finish the encryption. This can be ignored easily as the process looks like Windows scanning and repairing the system itself. Once the reboot finished, the computer is encrypted and a note will pop up to alert the user to pay the ransom.  How to Prevent Petya/GoldenEye Attacks?Ransomware attack can be a real disaster as it threatens your important files and money. So you need to keep alert to any suspicious action on your computer. Once you get this popup below, you should shut down your PC immediately in case of infecting Petya.  Here you are the tips to prevent Petya/GoldenEye:1.

The service can be used by Petya to spread the ransomware. Follow the steps to stop WMI service Note: If WMI service is not running, you cannot manage, monitor, or retrieve information about the resources on the computer, especially remotely. 3. Create a Stronger Password for Your System A strong password can help you improve the security of your system by preventing malicious programs from accessing your system easily. For example, you can mix the password with capitalized letters, symbols and numbers. 4. Close the service of SMBv1 SMBv1 is a very old deprecated network protocol and might be attacked by Petya ransomware. You can probably disable it to prevent the attack.
