Internet Scams

[Mac]

I've recently been receiving a new scam. It's a pretty good one too.

I get an email threatening to expose me if I don't pay. They have my name, address, phone number...They even send a picture of my house saying they will show up if I don't pay. Each letter gets more and more threatening. Last email said they had cameras in my house filming me basically doing porn shoots and were going to make them public unless I pay via bitcoin. I told my wife and she was laughing..."Was I here?"

Pretty crazy what the internet and public access have done and how these people continue to capitalize on it all. I wonder what the use of AI could do to create a damning set of pictures, video, etc...

Do NOT put IP / Cellular based security cameras in private places like your jacuzzi or pool area. Never have them inside.

Just saying...

We have the Ring setup and there ain't nothing I'm embarrassed about or would be defensive answering too.
