Quote:A new variant of the CIA porn investigation emails are now putting the extortion payment instructions in password protected PDF attachments.
Last month we covered how the CIA exortion scam variant had started to become widely distributed. These scam emails pretend to be from a CIA technical collection offer who states that your name is part of an investigation into underage pornography. For a fee, though, they would be willing to wipe your information from the case files.
This latest variant is now utilizing password protected PDF attachments and have an email subject of "[Your email has been verified [Central Intelligence Agency – Case #55662513 - 24-03-2019] Your family counts on your intelligence". Included in the email is the password for the attached PDF file.
