New twist on sextortion scam includes pictures of people's homes
The extortion attempt arrives as an email with a PDF attached. When opened, the document includes a photo of a family's home, and often the person's address and phone number. The scammers claim that the recipient has been spotted in unseemly places on the internet, and they can destroy that evidence — for a fee.

You can't be half full or half empty all the time imo
It depends on what's happening in your actual life and how good/bad it could be getting
We all have they moments when everything is good/bad and future looks good/bad - and moments where a decision could change everything for better or worse
one day they're gonna make electrical implants for the brain that simulate raving sensations

like some ballardian nightmare from 1986, let the satellite navigation system guide us to the sticks, we ride on her direction to the sticks so the authorities can't find us
@R3dH00d yeah Dougray is an awesome actor but up'd his game in this fot sure
@SpaceShanks im watching it on ITVX cause i know how to bypass adverts on that platform and its free in UK
Britbox you can get a 7 day free trial before paying 👍
@SpaceShanks yeah its pretty good - not for faint hearted though - 1st series is about a serial killer and he nabs a kid in opening scene - no more spoilers - other than the lead cop has drink/drugs issues, and other issues, and hates paedophiles 🫣
In true Irvine welsh style he's tryin ta shock the audience 😉
Been watching Irvine Welsh's "crime" drama/thriller series well worth a watch - 2 series's available
Detective Inspector Ray Lennox investigates serious crimes while battling his own personal demons and in-fighting within the police department.

This is an interesting one because it goes into details about what prompted the company to investigate one of their remote workers, concluding that they were a North Korean resident posing as a US citizen
@LnzyHou heres a good mini thread about it

And a link explaining how they do it - from one company who fell for it
The remote workers “often gain elevated access to modify code and administer network systems,” Mandiant found, warning of the downstream effects of allowing malicious actors into a company’s inner sanctum.
