Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account. I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly.Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I’m getting at.******

    You have to look closely, in my case it is strange that an email of mine ends up in the 'spam' folder, but if you look carefully, in the @hotmail.com part, it is written as @hotmail. com, with a space in . and COM.

    If you can type, you can spoof an email address. Yes, it's that easy. Spam protection will catch the spoofed address and put it in Junk folder.

    How can I be sure that my account was not hacked?

    I got 1 simple answer for you, if your mailbox is hacked, they will kick you out and make sure you can't get back in. Trust me on this. They will not ask you to send them money. They can do more damage by scouring your mailbox for things to steal (reset your bank account passwords etc). Then they'll phish all your contacts.

    Those idiots can't hack. Period.

    have the same email today!

    and several unsuccessful attempts to log in to my account, from various places around the world.

    The sender is exactly my own email. I confess that I was a little worried

    Exact thing has happened with me. Received the same email and multiple unsuccessful attempts to login from various countries. Have changed the password. Please do know if anything else needs to be done.

    Thankyou.
