One fine summer day, Matt opened an email.
Little did he know that the contents of the email could give him a shock of his life.
The contents of the email sent by hackers contained a clipping of Matt wanking in front of his computer.
It so happened that unknown to Matt, his PC was infected by a ransomware.
There I was in all my glory, he told triple js Veronica & Lewis.
Initially I laughed, says Matt thinking that the hackers from Africa may hardly know his friends in Australia.
He immediately shot of a mail to the hackers daring them to release the footage.
He realised the threat was very very serious.
They asked for $10,000.
He negotiated with them to bring down from $10,000 to $3,000.
But then he suddenly changed his mind.
Its not something to be ashamed of, Matt added.
It wasnt an easy post to put up.
Going public with his private moments was a brave thing Matt did instead of succumbing to the hackers.
