Extortion Scam Threatens Website Owners With Reputational Damage

Malicious actors are threatening to ruin websites reputations and get them blacklisted as part of a new extortion scam campaign. The extortion campaign involves fraudsters using sites contact forms to reach out to site owners. The fraudsters also say theyll prey upon the site by sending 30 offensive messages to 13 million sites, sending 300 aggressive advertising messages to another 9 million web locations, and spamming for the site on blogs, forums and other websites. Such actions will ultimately prompt users to leave negative reviews and feedback about the site and ultimately get the site blacklisted.”]
