Had an email - on my work address from someone pretending to be me. Rod or something his (her) name was apparently. Hacked my account, inserted a "rat", and was intending to ask for money or close down my machine. However, he said, he had looked at my history and was appalled at the sites I'd visited, the stuff I'd been browsing etc. So unless I was going to stump up $950 in bitcoin he was going to send it to all my contacts.
Made me laugh I have to say, but really it could catch someone (maybe who wasn't using a work account and shall we say a bit more adventurous) out, and make them pay up.
Needless to say he was deleted. We'll see if he reappears.
