It is a well-known fact that Trojan Horse infections are some of the nastiest computer threats. That’s why it is understandable to get quite frustrated if you receive a message that your computer has been compromised by a hidden representative of theirs. Just the thought that a Trojan might have compromised the system is frightening enough to make most of the users fulfill all sorts of demands in order to remove the nasty infection or prevent it from messing with their PC. Unfortunately, dishonest people have found a way to play with that fear and to make some good quick money out of it by spreading email BitCoin scam messages. The sketchy scheme which has become viral recently relies on phishing emails sent from self-proclaimed hackers who warn the victims that their system has been infected with a dormant Trojan Horse. The scenario of the message typically goes like this – the hackers claim that they have secretly gained control over the computer with the help of a hidden malware and intend to mess with it or publish some sensitive personal information online. In order not to do that, they ask the victim to pay a certain amount of money to a given BitCoin wallet. As you can see, this is a simple blackmail scheme which relies on fear and frustration to extort money out of the unsuspecting online users. In most of the cases, there is no real reason to believe such email scams as they are nothing but a bluff. That’s why, if you have recently received an email with similar text, our advice is not to give your money to anyone.

However, we cannot ignore the fact that a lot of nasty cyber threats use spam messages and scams to spread around the web and to infect web users.

Moreover, there are threats such as 19rtEghbzbyBqmgJLBtUGd9VvVC1s2bKzR, which may sometimes be delivered to your PC with the help of blackmail messages like the email BitCoin scam that we described above.
