The reported phishing emails received by the National Cyber Security Centre’s SERS relate to a type of extortion referred to as ‘Financially Motivated Sexual Extortion’ (FMSE).
Reports suggests the phrasing of the email and subject lines can vary, but the theme remains consistent: the phishing email claims to have installed malware on the recipient’s computer and recorded them visiting adult websites. The sender will then coerce the email recipient to pay a ransom demand by threatening to release the videos. The ransom is usually demanded in a form of cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin.
In order to make these phishing attacks convincing, emails will often include genuine pieces of personal information relating to the victim, such as a password or home address. It is likely these would have been obtained from historic breaches of personal data.
Analysis shows that many people who received these emails also later reported becoming victims of online account hacking.
In 2024, a male victim in his thirties received numerous extortion emails that contained a password he used for one of his online accounts. The emails demanded a ransom of $500. Having correctly identified the emails as a scam, he deleted them. However, shortly afterwards he noticed that he was unable to login to one of his social media accounts. After some checking, he realised that one of his bank accounts and multiple social media accounts had been hacked and he was locked out of them.
What to do if you receive an email like this: As with other phishing emails, do not to engage with the phisher, forward the email to report@phishing.gov.uk, which is the NCSC’s Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS), and then delete it. If you are considering paying the Bitcoin ransom, you should be aware that doing so, you will likely become the target of more scams, as the phisher will know they have a ‘willing’ customer. The inclusion of genuine passwords or other personal information in phishing emails is a strong indication that you may have been affected by a historic data breach. You can use this service to check which of your online accounts were affected: https://haveibeenpwned.comIf the phishing email includes a password you still use, then change it immediately. Advice on how to create suitable passwords and enable other factors of authentication is available here: https://stopthinkfraud.campaign.gov.uk/protect-yourself-from-fraud/protecting-against-online-fraud/improve-your-password-security/
If you have been a victim of extortion, or concerned that someone may be in possession of intimate images of you, you should report it to your local police force by calling 101.

Staffordshire Police say as the sun shines brightly and the temperatures soar, homeowners across Stoke on Trent could be are letting their guards down when it comes to home security. There is an increased risk of break-ins, burglaries, and robberies during the warmer months, leaving families vulnerable and cherished belongings at risk.
As the warm weather beckons us outdoors, we often forget that burglars seize this opportunity to exploit our relaxed approach to home security. It is crucial to remain cautious and take proactive measures to safeguard our homes and loved ones.
Whether you’re tending to the garden or enjoying a BBQ on the patio, always ensure all doors and windows out of sight are securely locked.
Going out to enjoy the good weather? Don’t be tempted to keep your windows open. Make sure all windows and doors are locked and secure to prevent unauthorised access and potential break-ins.
Keep shrubs and bushes near windows trimmed to eliminate potential hiding spots for intruders who may try to slip in through an unattended open window whilst you’re enjoying the sun in the garden.
When at home on hot days, open windows for ventilation, securing windows and doors behind you when you leave the room. Don’t leave open windows unattended.
If possible Invest in a reliable smart security system with alarms, surveillance, cameras, and motion sensors to deter intruders and monitor your property remotely. The perfect solution if you’re planning a trip or holiday to enjoy the warm weather.
1. Don’t retaliate
If you find yourself being subjected to road rage, and another driver is being confrontational or aggressive, ignore them and don’t make eye contact or react in any way that they can see.
2. Let them go
If someone’s driving aggressively behind you, aching to get past, find a safe place to pull over and let them go. It’ll add seconds to your journey but may save you from being involved in an accident or having an unpleasant confrontation.
3. Recognise your failings
As we’ve established, we all make mistakes. But it’s easy for other road users to take it the wrong way. Acknowledge your mistake with a wave of the hand. There’s a very good chance it will pacify the other person and could prevent the situation escalating to a confrontation. Simply saying sorry can make problems go away very quickly.
4. Is it you?
If you keep being subjected to road rage, it might be down to the way you drive. Perhaps you’re overly assertive. Or maybe you’ve fallen into some bad driving habits that wind others up, such as not indicating. If you’re finding you’re the target of frequent aggression, you might want to think about how you engage with other road users, or take a refresher driving course.
5. Calm down
If you’ve been in a situation with another driver, it will undoubtedly affect you. But if you get too wound up, your concentration levels will drop, putting you at greater risk of having an accident. “I was angry” isn’t going to get you out of trouble with the police or help you with a car insurance claim.
Take steps to stop your stress levels spiking. If you feel upset or emotional, pull over and get some fresh air, or walk around if you need to before resuming your journey.
Or alternatively, find a distraction, like listening to the radio. Move your mind deliberately onto something else and don’t dwell on the incident.
