scammer/abuser
[appears to be sent by myself but actually spoofed]
description
NOTE:
The scam indicated an old password that used to be associated with email address. However, due to a pwnage notification several years ago (came up on haveibeenpwned.com), password was promptly changed.
The likely source of the email+password combination is not from a hack of the 'router' but rather from pastes of email+password combos following data breaches at customer-oriented service accounts such as Facebook, Yahoo, Adobe etc.
TEXT INCLUDED IN SCAM EMAIL:
I greet you!
I have bad news for you.
27/08/2018 - on this day I hacked your operating system and got full access to your account [user]@gmail.com
On that day your account ([user]@gmail.com) password was: [pw]
It is useless to change the password, my malware intercepts it every time.
How it was:
In the software of the router to which you were connected that day, there was a vulnerability.
I first hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
