Fake ransom seeking email scam prowling in Indian cyberspace
Phishing Emails: Country's federal cybersecurity agency has alerted internet users against an ongoing "fake" email campaign that claims to have recorded personal video of a user which could be published if a ransom amount in crypto-currency is not paid.
The advisory states that this could be the "final step" before seeking the ransom. It adds that the scammer will then demand ransom in the form of Bitcoin (crypto currency). Photo: Reuters
