Email scam threatens to release video of people watching pornography if they don't pay bitcoin ransom
People are being sent horrifying messages threatening to post video of their most intimate moments on the internet.
What's more, the messages are shockingly believable: they appear to include secret information about the recipient that suggests the threats are real.

But in fact the messages are a scam. And they seem to be relying on the vast number of stolen passwords that are available across the internet.
The messages always begin with the most convincing part of the email: the claim that the person sending it has your password, which is included in the message itself. After that, it begins with a series of threats and demand for a ransom.
"I'm going to cut to the chase," the message reads. "You don't know anything about me whereas I now know a lot about you and you are probably thinking why are you receiving this mail, right?"

If they did have your password and name for this site they would have taken over your account by now to prove. But no info on here apartnfron contacting your friends as you through pm. Or access to your PMs to view messages and any potential pictures shared.

There is nothing to worry about. Lists of usernames and passwords that were hacked at some point are being used to generate a sense that the blackmailer has more info. They don't. Relax and ignore it. I know a lot about this stuff.

I hate to say this...I really do...but you bastards were very helpful and supportive. Maybe this place isn't so bad after all.
