The title of the email is a leaked password of yours. The scammer claims to have a video of you on an porn website. They demand a payment to the bitcoin address.

The email subject is an old password leaked from a website database hack from around 2016. The scammer demands payment to prevent them sending a supposed video they recorded from your webcam when you supposedly visited an adult website to your supposed contacts. The email is however incredibly vague with the details. They don't mention what adult website you supposedly visited, and they don't mention any of your contacts by name and/or email address. Payment of their desired amount supposedly ensures destruction of the supposed incriminating video.

Lets get directly to the point. Not one person has paid me to check about you. You do not know me and you're probably thinking why you are getting this email? in fact, i actually placed a malware on the adult vids (adult porn) website and you know what, you visited this site to experience fun (you know what i mean). When you were viewing videos, your browser started out operating as a RDP having a key logger which provided me with accessibility to your display and web cam. immediately after that, my malware obtained every one of your contacts from your Messenger, FB, as well as email account. after that i created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were viewing (you have a nice taste omg), and 2nd part displays the recording of your cam, and its you. Best solution would be to pay me $1035. We are going to refer to it as a donation. in this situation, i most certainly will without delay remove your video.
