Hi all, I received this email on Tuesday (it was in my junk so I've only just noticed it) it reads this, should I be worrried or is it just off one website I've used? It has the correct password but it's the password I use for things that I don't really care about?
Hi, I know one of your passwords is: (correct password) - but not only that! Your computer was infected with my private malware, because your browser wasn't updated / patched, in such case it's enough to just visit some website where my iframe is placed to get automatically infected, if you want to find out more - Google: "Drive-by exploit". My malware gave me full access to all your accounts (see password above), full control over your computer and it also was possible to spy on you over your webcam. I COLLECTED ALL YOUR PRIVATE DATA and I RECORDED YOU through your webcam, I must say - the result is some good material! After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces and this email was sent from some hacked server. I can publish the videos of you and all your private data on the whole web, social networks, over email of all your contacts. But you can stop me and only I can help you out in this situation. The only way to stop me, is to pay exactly 800$ in bitcoin (BTC). It's a very good offer, compared to all that horrible shit that will happen if you don't pay! You can easily buy bitcoin here: www.paxful.com , www.coinbase.com , or check for bitcoin ATM near you, or Google for other exchanger. You can send the bitcoin directly to my wallet, or create your own wallet first here: www.login.blockchain.com/en/#/signup/ , then receive and send to mine. My bitcoin wallet is: 1D1nXbBdPmCpy9rPRdtaXjA5ftGzYPPw51 Copy and paste my wallet, it's (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE) I give you 3 days time to pay. As I got access to this email account, I will know if this email has already been read. If you get this email multiple times, it's to make sure that you read it, my mailer script is configured like this and after payment you can ignore it. After receiving the payment, I remove all your data and you can life your live in peace like before. Next time update your browser before browsing the web! |

Change your passwords and enable 2 step verification (Authy)
authy.com/ Probably just got an old password from a Database leak. Don't pay up for anything. This is a copy pasta I have seen before. Also upon checking that BTC wallet, the person who is sending this is a broke boy. |

| Too long didn't read version, this is bullshit - there are a ton of posts about this exact Bitcoin address on an abuse database; don't worry about it too much, just run a boot time scan, secure your passwords and you should be good to go. As per stated by Chris, it seems as though this is just some rando who's trying to blackmail people with a list of passwords he or she bought online. bitcoinabuse.com/reports/1D1nXbBd...w51?page=1 |
