I don't have much experience with domains, but I have a fair bit of experience with info/cybersecurity, and this looks like a classic scam to me. It looks like a lower budget version of those that get users' passwords from old data breaches and email it to them en masse (using automated tools) to prove that they have their passwords and/or compromising videos. These scams make big money by counting on just a few of the tens of thousands of victims to pay up, and the incidence of them has gone up during the coronavirus pandemic.

Here's a very topical link for this forum:

reminds me of that virus attack that was made 2-3 years back or so.... onion or something.

i do not have faintest idea how it infected me. I never open links or emails... I do not visit weird sites... i am very computer savy and actualy never had virus related or hack attacks issues ever before... and yet there i was.. watching all the pics videos mp3 etc on my computer turn into unsuable .onion or something.... and asking me to pay bitcoins to fix. which of coure I did not. but many people did. I will miss the pictures of family it destroyed though I still kept them somewhere in this onion extension.. hoping one day they find a fix. I tried to look for fix on google and there was some .exe we are supposed to execute.. by inputting one .onion file and one original one (which I did have from backups).. so it can compre the two.. and then fix all files.. but that exe fix failed. and didn't fix anything.

I'll keep the pics around. maybe in few years there is somehting.

I received almost an identical message today (and have received others some time ago). Today's one was from email hacker (@)/tmkplus.ru

I just ignore them...

Well, this one doesn't seem to be extremely successful thus far.

I'm not surprised, he's trying to innovate with his own tactics instead of the tried-and-tested sextortion stuff, lmao.

When exactly did you get the email? If it was recent it would explain the lack of funds in the Bitcoin wallet so far.

This looks like my parking results! Seriously though, I got the exact same email OP got. It means my landing page is working. They got my email address, threatened that site, and I will ignore them. At least someone searched for the page!
