Sextortion Email Variant: With QR Code
Reader Robert submitted a sextortion email with a twist: it contains a QR code:
In case you're wondering: I covered the QR code with a cross. I don't want you to pay ransom by accident.
All the text in this email is a picture, except for the Bitcoin address. Hence this SPAM variant might be harder to detect by anti-SPAM engines.
The QR code decodes to:
