I was going to make this post as a reply to another thread but I think it's better as a thread so everyone that uses the BRAVE browser is properly informed of the risks they're taking by doing so.

This extortion email [screencap in the next post] came to me after about 15 days using Brave browser exclusively, didn't touch Firefox in all that time.
The pass that I censored is what I use to get into my bank accounts (just changed it). I have no idea how he got it.
The amount he is demanding I pay is pretty close to what I had in there but in another currency.

Thank god I taped my webcam long ago so I know it's bullshit and didn't record me. The pass is real though and I already have changed it. Be careful when installing crappy ripoff browsers based on older&obsolete versions of Chrome, they could record you jerking off and send it to everyone you know.

Here it is. Don't use Brave. I already uninstalled it from both my laptop and cellphone.

How long until something like this happens to you?

Ok pals, believe what you want, keep browsing with a very old version of Google chrome that someone just decided to slap on a new logo, give a new name and tweak a little. But don't say nobody warned you.

This probably has nothing to do with Brave browser, and everyone has been getting these whether they were compromised or not. It just happens that you probably haven't changed your password in years and they're hoping the social engineering will be enough.

My boss got one of these emails and freaked out, wiped his PC and paid the ransom even though I told him it was bullshit.

Of course it is, it is literally an old version of google chrome with a different name and logo. Google Chrome is fast, you know?
> and most private
A browser whose devs literally tell you it'll track how you browse with an never before seen accuracy to get statistics & data on user habits to market more effectively? Anon, I think you clearly don't understand the project the people at BAT are doing and what's the entire point of the project.

If you think Brave is about privacy you are terribly misguided and misinformed.

Does it actually work? Ive been sending shitloads of bat to my site. Hopefully theyll come through

>> No.12017055

basically what happened is, this is a normal email scam where the attacker finds a website where your email and password was compromised, they then email you and say they have your password and proof of you jerking off or what not, its just a scare tactic for you to send bitcoin to the attacker. op your just a fucking retard and dont do research fucking idiot stupid cunt retard
