I got this email yesterday, and I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't have that kind of money!
Hello! I'm a member of an international hacker group. As you could probably have guessed, your account [email protected] was hacked, because I sent message you from your account. Now I have access to all your accounts! For example, your password for [email protected]: boobies00 Within a period from July 31, 2018 to October 3, 2018, you were infected by the virus we've created, through an adult website you've visited. So far, we have access to your messages, social media accounts, and messengers. Moreover, we've gotten full damps of these data. We are aware of your little and big secrets...yeah, you do have them. We saw and recorded your doings on porn websites. Your tastes are so weird, you know.. But the key thing is that sometimes we recorded you with your webcam, syncing the recordings with what you watched! I think you are not interested show this video to your friends, relatives, and your intimate one... Transfer $800 to our Bitcoin wallet: 1PwENLsmQ2Z6b4EJfXDeeXKBj9v878uHRf If you don't know about Bitcoin please input in Google "buy BTC". It's really easy. I guarantee that after that, we'll erase all your "data" A timer will start once you read this message. You have 48 hours to pay the above-mentioned amount. Your data will be erased once the money are transferred. If they are not, all your messages and videos recorded will be automatically sent to all your contacts found on your devices at the moment of infection. You should always think about your security. We hope this case will teach you to keep secrets. Take care of yourself. Wholly crap! What should I do!! The Hackzor@@@ identified one of my business email accounts and one of my burner passwords. The weird thing is, I don't visit porn websites and I certainly don't yank it in front of my laptop. Oh, bother. |

Never comply with the demands of terrorists.
Tell them in no uncertain terms to FUCK OFF. |

I got two of those today, and I've gotten several in the past.
Strangely, they claim to know my password, and the password they gave is similar, or perhaps the same, as my very old password. Not sure what to make of that. I also got a slightly different kind a while back: https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/New-Iranian-masturbation-spy-extortion-scam-/5-2115293/ |

you should turn your xhamster cam on and just go to town on yourself for a couple hours... that'll show em'!

Meh...
I guess we all will have our fap videos uploaded. Hopefully at just one site for the pure shock and awe factor. |

boobies00 - WTF? Is that your password? Next time go with something complex like "LargeAmazingboobies00-DCup". You know, just to be safe!

Got one like that as well, chuckled......then unceremoniously deleted it

I would ask for proof before sending any money.
Where I work, our files have been "hacked" a few times before. The hackers destroy or lock out files and then demand money for their return. I'm told we always make them prove they can restore the files by giving us a number of them back to prove they can even do it. If they can't, they don't get shit. Change all your passwords on your accounts now just in case it will do any good. |

A friend of mine got one of these. His reply:
"I wrote the scammer back and said, listen, honey, the terms of service on that webcam site could not have been more clear. I am happy to spend time with you for an agreed fee but you aren't allowed to record the encounter, ok? You owe ME money." ETA - pretty sure this latest round goes back to a LinkedIn hack/data breach. Time to change some passwords for sure. |

Only one way to deal with these people, you have to beat them to the punch and send a video of yourself whacking it to all your contacts.

I've been seeing these more and more. Actually had someone today say they had a real password of theirs that they use on like junk sights. My guess is they are using leaked lists from somewhere. Ignore, change passwords if you want to be safe, and move on.

Release my fap videos idgaf. Tomorrow, my Facebook wall is going to be filled with videos of me fapping to midget porn, so I hope my friends and family will not be too shocked by this. Then, I will be able to laugh at the blackmailers. |

Its a scam. Some company gave away your password at some point. You can buy these email+password for a few dollars. The problem is how to make money from them. this is their latest idea.
I have had quite a few of these. I know they are scam artists because I don't have a camera on my computer, plus I got a ton of these (they all ended up in my spam folder). Ignore it - or if you want, complain to the FBI. If they ever catch one of these assholes you will add one more count to the charges just for you. |

Mr. Hacker. I've figured out who you are and where you live. See ya soon.

I received a similar email, but don't look at porn, and haven't used my laptop in months. Whoops.
Besides, who needs porn when you are into even stranger stuff... |

It’s all fun and games till they really do have you wacking it on cam.
A guy I know got taken for $800 and right after he paid they demanded $10,000. They actually send him the video. He was camming with one of those fake FB people and didn’t know they could see him too. |

WTF?!?!? They don’t accept iTunes gift cards like the IRS?!?!

If that were me they'd be begging me to take money to stop fapping in front of my webcam.

I got an email like this on my work email... asking for $350 in bitcoin
I sent back "Get fucked, scammer" A week or 2 later our systems had a breach. No harm but just random shit and replies to every spam email I had. Don't know if they were correlated or not but I honestly thought it was fucking hilarious. |
