This month we got two unrelated emails (one from Bangladesh, the other from Turkey) with the same scam: "We have hacked your email account, we're emailing you from it, your password is xyz deposit $800 USD in bitcoin or else". These guys just send a bunch of emails using known leaked accounts, and a few of these people are going to be scared because they reuse the same password. Since they ask for bitcoin, anyone can see the transactions of their wallets: roughly $6-12,000 USD each attempt. The risk-reward ratio is ridiculously low, I guess that's the same with ad fraud. Companies would fight a company-sized rat, but not thousands of rat-sized companies.
