he doesn't have access to my computer; under the right circumstances, literally anybody can spoof a "From:" header from anybody, it's not that difficult; he sent the message to an email address i haven't used in at least 5 years; he doesn't even TRY to guess the password; i don't have a cisco router; he abused the server at 201.202.198.5 in Costa Rica; i have no social media accounts; i don't look at porn; i don't have a web cam; he can't even put together a simple sentence in english; and, LOOK! this guy STILL has no bitcoin, either ???? -- https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1971pHPgLaTmuYtoH4BsGSfFMZaAjotium -- this guy is not a "hacker or a "programmer", and he has no "honour" to codify. he is an ADOLESCENT LOSER. he is a skript-kiddie who uses other peoples' code, and wants you to think that he is a ransomware-using blackmailer, using passwords from data breaches: He is a liar. Bitcoin needs to isolate and purge this wallet. ????

Blackmail scammer, claiming to have hacked our account, but really just spoofing your email address. Wants $944 worth of bitcoin sent or he will share private photos and videos. "I know what you like hard funs (adult sites). Oh, yes .. I'm know your secret life, which you are hiding from everyone. Oh my God, what are your like... I saw THIS ... Oh, you dirty naughty person ... :) I took photos and videos of your most passionate funs with adult content, and synchronized them in real time with the image of your camera. Believe it turned out very high quality! "

Claims to have installed spyware on my Cisco router (which I don't have) and thus has hacked my account and then took photos from my computer. Several problems with that... First, my email isn't locally hosted and I own the domain. Second, I don't have a Cisco (or Cisco owned company) router. Finally, you can't gain control of my network through my email account. Clearly a scam.
