A bot that reads through an account dump online (often in email:password format AFAIK) and sends mass emails claiming they know of the linked password, and then goes on to talk about how they placed a malware on some adult video sites and uh oh! You got infected! Send 1.75k to this bitcoin address and the video will be erased... If not?!?! All your facebook, messenger, and e-mail contacts will APPARENTLY receive a video of your blank, expressionless face, accompanied by whatever porn you whack off to. Nigerian prince BS.

Mail recieved , _x000D_ I am aware ******** is one of your pass. Lets get directly to the point. Not a single person has compensated me to check about you.

Why dont we take a look at the options in details:_x000D_ 1st alternative is to ignore this e-mail. in such a case, i will send out your very own video clip to all your contacts and then consider concerning the humiliation you will see. and definitely if you are in a romantic relationship, just how it will certainly affect?_x000D_ Second option would be to compensate me $2630.

You could keep daily life like this never happened and you would never hear back again from me._x000D_ You will make the payment through Bitcoin (if you dont know this, search how to buy bitcoin in Google search engine)._x000D_ Bitcoin address to send to: 1FdHXLR79Y8ZiV29X9Gxhk1ZmmDmQefRnU_x000D_ [case sensitive copy and paste it]_x000D_ in case you are curious about going to the authorities, well, this email cannot be traced back to me.

This guy found an old password I knew was compromised and threatened to share a video of me watching porn, which is hilarious because I use my laptop only for work. Asked me to send bitcoin to this bitcoin address. I didnt pay but it was definitely annoying.

Blackmail ransom, claim to have access to my Facebook and recordings of me from my webcam. Old Password from before i had Facebook. The person will send video to my wife, but i am single LOL.

Emailed saying they have recordings from a porn site and webcam as well as Facebook contacts. Asking for a ransom fee. Did not pay

blackmail attempt by mail

sent me an email telling he knew my password (which was used sever years ago, and the site where it was used has been hacked), and he had access to my webcam and facebook friends. he would sent pictures of myself to all my friends if i didnt give him the money using the bitcoin address
