Threatening to leak video files which don't exist. Claims to have accessed webcam through "private malware", asking for "exactly 800$ in bitcoin (BTC)", sends an old/unused password to 'prove' it's legit. Received to an email address which is recorded in both the Onliner Spambot and MyFitnessPal breaches. Claims that receiving the email more than once is "to make sure that you read it" (yeah, right...)

Usual ‘I’ve seen you wanking on your webcam’ sextortion crap

Your computer was infected with my private malware, 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) SATISFYING YOURSELF! After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces and this email(s) was sent from some hacked server. I can publish the video of you and all your private data on the whole web, social networks, over email of all 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 I publish everything!

You can easily buy bitcoin here: www.paxful.com , www.coingate.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.

Emailed blackmail for $800

From [email protected]. Demanded ransom for $800 in bitcoins. Cited an old password, so probably got information from hacking a site's database.
