Blackmail email sent saying they had compromising information on me and demanded I sent $800 in BTC to have it deleted or else it would be released to my contacts. It was an old email address. The email headers show the email coming from India, which is not associated with the servers it would have come from if genuine.

Uses some old leaked database of emails and password and spoofs "From" header field to appear as if the message is sent from your email address to fake and blackmail a person to pay for videos and other info not to be published. It's fake, some noob from Brasil is trying to make an easy buck.

I have downloaded all confidential information from your system and I got some more evidence. The most interesting moment that I have discovered are videos records where you masturbating. I posted my virus on porn site, and then you installed it on your operation system. When you clicked the button Play on porn video, at that moment my trojan was downloaded to your device. After installation, your front camera shoots video every time you masturbate, in addition, the software is synchronized with the video you choose. For the moment, the software has collected all your contact information from social networks and email addresses. If you need to erase all of your collected data, send me $800 in BTC (crypto currency). This is my Bitcoin wallet: 1PuYAe7BLxNE6F6zE2PeVthfXCeYH88PmQ You have 48 hours after reading this lett
