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 $901 is a nice price for it! I accept only Bitcoins. My BTC wallet: 12hBxZ7mzn3LgT3SjCsS6yS4tVefPBWCPt If you have difficulty with this - Ask Google "how to make a payment on a bitcoin wallet". It's easy.

Subject: FW:[ATTENTION REQUIRED] Mercer University Revised Business Development, Implementation, and Review of Guidelines and Goals Date Received: 8/8/2018 Sender: William D. Underwood LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT DR. WILLIAM D. UNDERWOOD Dear Colleagues: I will like to remind each and every one of you that this organization holds itself to the highest ethical standards. To that end we are pleased to announce our updated Business Integrity Program. Adherence to the Program standards not only achieves compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but affords us tangible business benefits. These standards also avoids liability for our company and all of us and also protects our reputation, but that is only the first of several benefits. We must not take these benefits for granted as corporate scandals in recent years at Enron, Tyco, and other companies –including some companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries – have eroded the confidence of employees, customers, shareholders, and others. Each of us must regularly affirm our commitment to integrity by acknowledging our agreement to the standards outlined in the Business Integrity Program. Please recognize the compliance responsibility this organization places in each and every one of us, as it will be taken seriously and any failure to act in accordance with the principles outlined herein. The Business Integrity program is attached in this email, It is important that all staff go through it thoroughly and adhere to these standards so you will be helping to assure the future success of this organization.

10/01/2018 - Extortion Email Scam We have recently recieved information of a new twist on an old extortion scam. Email messages are being sent to trick users into believing a hacker has compromised your computer and used your webcam to record a video of you. It threatens to release the video to all your contacts unless you pay a Bitcoin ransom. The email will attempt to reference a real password previously tied to your email address as an imtimidation tactic. For more information, visit KrebsOnSecurity.
9/11/2018 - Active Phishing Campaign Targeting Student Email Accounts The Federal Student Aid (FSA) has identified a malicious phishing campaign that may lead to potential fraud associated with student financial aid refunds and distributions. Visit the Federal Student Aid (FSA) website for details and to view the suspicious email.
5/29/2018 - VPNFilter malware threat As a result of the VPNFilter malware threat, the FBI has recommended that all owners of a small or home office router reboot the device and take normal precautions to prevent infection, such as utilizing strong passwords and upgrading the device’s firmware. For more information, visit the FBI’s website. Mercer University’s routers are not impacted by this malware.
5/12/2017 - WannaCry Ransomware As always, we highly encourage you to protect yourself and your data by being especially cautious when opening emails or attachments from unfamiliar sources, especially if these emails are related to job offers, invoices, or prescription drugs. At this time, no Mercer computers have been affected, and your caution is appreciated. If you have any reason to doubt the authenticity of an email, contact the IT Help Desk. |
