He wasn't supposed to be here with us, but another one of those strange arrangements happened. Three days ago, late in the night around 1 am, I went outside our main gate to check on some of the regular dogs who visit our temple, because one had appeared sick earlier in the day.   This newsletter is sent to 316,073 subscribers.

Read this email or something terrible will happen.

<Good afternoon, my naive comrade.>

<Unfortunately, this letter will divide your life into before and after.>
<However, the good news is that it will teach you a lot.>

<For example, what you can and can't do on the internet, how to treat your online security properly, and how not to leave digital footprints.>
<Most likely, you have heard about Russian hacker groups such as Cozy Bear, Killnet and others. Well, we work for them.>

<I hate to say it, but you have got in our mess.>
<In addition to our hacking activities, we are also running on the lookout for various suspicious online accounts that we would like to make money on.>
<We guess you are beginning to realize how we located you.>

<All normal people have their own sexual preferences.>
<However, what you are trying to find on the internet doesn't fit into any, even the loosest moral standards.>
<Now we have your search requests and your webcam footage while you are pleasuring yourself.>

<We set a timer for public release. Nevertheless, don't worry, there's good news also.>
<Money is our only interest. Even among us, there are some strange persons, but they bring us so much profit that we ignore their deviations.>

<In this case, YOU should bring us the profit. For $1350 you and us will forget about each other forever.>
<You have 48 hours from the moment you open this email to transfer this $1350. We will be notified when you read the letter.>
<Here is the address of the Bitcoin wallet you should use for the payment:>>> 1E3yQDCaMNe2NjanoM1nJtasUZy6Xkzg6z <<<

<Countdown has started, don't keep us waiting.>
<Otherwise, all your friends, colleagues and relatives will get a copy of your records: search history, webcam videos and even personal messages.>
<!Do not forward this message to anyone, including the police. Doing so will result in the automatic posting of all information about you. We monitor what you are doing.>
<!Do not reply to this message. It was sent from a disposable email account, you can't reply it, this email address is untraceable.>

<If you haven't used crypto before everything is simple. Just google it.>
<That's the end of our message. As they say, we hope for a fruitful cooperation. Otherwise, this will all end badly for you.>
<Goodbye, and hopefully this is our last interaction.>

<P. S. Remember for the future, the Internet is not some kind of a Wild West where you can do anything you want.>
<There is a wholesome shiver of hungry sharks searching for irresponsible persons like you.>
