Hacked Email

4 months 3 weeks ago - 4 months 3 weeks ago
#94948
I received an email demanding payment to release our website.  The email has things that don't apply to our club website. The email makes accusations about disgusting behavior and threatens to destroy my reputation if I don't deposit 1300 Bitcoin into an account that they provided. We have not logged onto our site since receiving this email.  Though none of the accusations are true, clearly someone hacked the server to be able to send the email to the president of the club.  What can we do about this?

Not to worry, nothing has been hacked. president-934375@toastmastersclubs.org is a publicly accessable email address.
