Emailed me from my own email address with the usual, we recorded you on webcam watching porn, now pay us $800 in BTC. They also stated they have access to all my social media. Funny thing is I don't watch porn, own a webcam or have a camera on my computer, or have any social accounts for that matter. However, I am an expert in blockchain forensics. I will be keeping my eyes on this BTC address and where it goes ;)

Same message as mentioned by others. "Hello! I'm a member of an international hacker group." snip Password is mentioned as being for the email account, the password in question is severely outdated and likely was sourced by an old stolen or purchased database containing an old outdated (and easily crackable) cryptology. Only a real threat if you keep the same old password for everything.
