Fraudsters Impersonate Media to Extort Bitcoin Ransom from Companies

Criminals use fake media identities to threaten publishing negative reports unless Bitcoin payments are made. Victims are urged to report incidents and avoid paying ransoms.

Woofun AI reports that illegal actors have been impersonating 'China Business Journal' to send extortion emails to various companies. These messages falsely claim possession of damaging information and demand financial compensation in Bitcoin under threat of publication.

The entity stated that all its reporting complies with laws and uses official channels. It has collected evidence of the suspected fraud and reserved legal rights. Companies are advised to remain vigilant, preserve evidence, and report such incidents to authorities without making payments.
