The potential victim receives an email from “Privacy-Vault” which lists their personal information such as SIN, address and date of birth. The email then instructs them to follow a website link. Once on the website it further instructs the victim that the issue can be resolved but will require payment of $50.00 dollars to a bitcoin address.
See below for a sample of the email received and excerpt of the website the email instructs you to follow.
If you’ve received this email, ignore it/delete it.
