How to Survive a Sextortion Email Campaign: Hackers tried to blackmail me! Here's what I did...

Hackers dug up one of my old passwords and tried to use it to blackmail me out of thousands of dollars! This email was part of a highly lucrative sextortion email campaign. It came from what appeared to be my personal email address and had one of my old passwords in the subject line. Watch this video to see how I handled the situation:

Here are 3 key DON’Ts, if you receive an email like the one I got:
1. DON’T RESPOND
2. DON’T CLICK ANY LINKS OR ATTACHMENTS IN THE EMAIL.
They likely contain a malware payload that could land you in real trouble.
3. DON’T PAY.
The most likely outcome is that you’ll never hear from them again.

Take this opportunity to do the following:
1. Change and randomize your commonly used passwords. It’s easier than you think with LastPass (see my affiliate link below)!
2. Enable 2-factor, at minimum, on all email, social media, and banking accounts
3. Talk to your friends and family about your sextortion experience and what you confidently did about it. Who knows, they may have gone through the same thing and have suffered in silence.

This could have easily been my reality …. My 15 year old son was also taken in by this scheme. He and Walker sound like they fit the same description…. Football, hunting, family, Faith…. On the night of January 17th of this year he came to me in tears and said “Mom, help… I’ve really messed up. He repented and handed me his phone.” I was shocked … but we kept calm. I could tell how scared he was … I assured him that these were scams and they weren’t going to ruin his life….but even I was a little nervous. This episode brought me to tears thinking just how close we were to this reality. I applaud *Brian Hacks Online* for standing up and Helping about this. I did listen to this episode with my son, and tearfully thanked him for coming to me!
