SEXTORTION WITH A TWIST: SPYWARE TAKES WEBCAM PICS OF USERS WATCHING PORN

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A new variant of spyware called Stealerium can automatically take webcam photos of people while they watch porn, then send these to hackers for possible blackmail. Distributed as free, open-source code, it infects users via phishing emails. Researchers say this marks a move from large-scale ransom to more personal extortion, and warn it's hard to track individual victims.
