Communications hacked
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2018 3:57 pm
I recently received one of those "I have hacked your email account and have your password... pay me $750 in BitCoin and I WON'T release your information... oh, and, by the way, I've hacked your computer and have seen the X-rated websites you visit... and if you don't believe me, your password is 'XXXX'"
I use a different password on every email account and every website I visit, so it was pretty easy to track down that this particular password belonged ONLY to "Ableton.com". So, I don't know if it was intercepted between me and Ableton.com, or if Ableton.com has been hacked and the password information stolen...
I felt obliged to report this, and, since I can't see a place for problems like this, I turned to the forums.
Good luck
