If you’ve received the e-mail below or a variation that may be from anyone, we’ve had a user called “Sloan” and others.
Do not click on any links in the e-mail. Do not reply to them. Do not pay them.
This is a scam similar to the “we hacked your phone camera/webcam and have been recording you and will send to all your friends if you don’t put bitcoin in our account.”
It’s just that criminals fear mongering and preying on less tech savvytech-savvy
It may be a good time to get your IT guy to check your e-mail passwords and ensure you have 2FA on your domain and e-mail accounts.
They probably just got your e-mail from a database or scraped it off of your WHOIS details.
If you are still concerned, come see the IT consultants at the computer support company, the ICT consulting company near you, IT NEAR U!
