Media reported today former Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has revealed that he received an email demanding US$100,000 to prevent the release of a sex video allegedly showing him with a man.
He said Subang MP Encik Wong Chen had stated shortly later that a similar threat involving the same man had been made against him.
As reported by FMT, Wong said that a police report was immediately lodged. He said he would make a statement after speaking to police on Monday.
Rafizi said the email sent to him included a blurry screenshot of the video and a QR code for transferring the money. He described the video as being probably AI-generated, saying that technology now makes it easy to fabricate images and videos.
“Many think it’s easy to be a politician. But if you take a stand, expose corruption, or challenge entrenched interests, your daily life can be disrupted in ways like this,” he said.
Rafizi, the former PKR deputy president, suggested that the primary aim of the email may have been to hack his electronic devices. He said he has faced multiple hacking attempts over the past nine months, including sophisticated attacks targeting his iPhone and Apple accounts.
He said Apple issued him warnings about such attacks in November 2024, and in March, June and on 3 September 2025, with the firm identifying the attacks as “mercenary spyware” linked to his political activities.
Rafizi said Apple also cited spyware like Pegasus, which was developed by Israeli cyber-intelligence firm NSO Group to eavesdrop on mobile phones and harvest data.
He said the threats and attempts to defame him with fake videos, fake news, and hacking were likely to continue, and he warned the public to verify unusual videos, images, or emails purportedly involving him.
The email came weeks after Rafizi’s 12-year-old son was stabbed with a syringe at a shopping mall in Putrajaya last month, with his wife then receiving two threatening text messages reading: “Be quiet. If you continue, AIDS.”
While doctors said his son was not drugged or poisoned, he will have to undergo six months of medical tests to rule out the possibility that he was injected with viral infections such as HIV or hepatitis.
Rafizi said he suspected that the attack was linked to a case he was looking into, saying he had recently met with a group of whistleblowers.
