So questions I would have for her. What computers have a camera on them?

I would run several programs anti virus/malware on those computers. I would change ALL passwords not just the password that was in the subject.

If there is any doubt? Do not pay or even reply to that email. I would submit it to law enforcement (I doubt the person is in the U.S. but sometimes they are.

My guess here, obviously they have the password. I would guess they used that to gain entry to many things. I would want to know if they have the ability to lock up the computer for future ransom.

for future
I always tape over or unplug my cameras when not in use. Painters tape so no residue is left on the lens.

more than likely, it's just a password they found associated with her email and made a good guess that she's still using it. -- nm - colin Sep 30, 12:46 1
- I like David's post. If it's a bulk bot (using a PW from Dark Net) then a person probably isn't even involved until a reply is sent or money. - Bacon Sep 30, 12:49
