Claims the clock starts when email opened. Email sent May7 and has been in junk folder until noticed today.

Several spoofed emails with demands for payment. Appeared to have the hash of a password used:_x000D_ [202.83.127.167]) (202.83.127.163)_x000D_ christopher@howesuk.com_x000D_ [5.78.153.127]) (5.78.153.127)_x000D_ <tirevunok@averdov.com>_x000D_ [197.15.71.131]) (197.15.71.131)_x000D_ <wani@tcu-shiojiri.ed.jp>

Got contacted from this sender trying to abuse me on my companys email and asking for payment to remove his Trojan from my server.

As a nice detail, googling for the bitcoin address brings up really scary descriptions of a supposed Trojan. It looks like some effort was made to spread information that makes the email look like a legitimate threat. Curiously, in those descriptions the bitcoin address is used as name of the virus.
