Your computer was infected with my malware, RAT (Remote Administration Tool), 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".
Said he/she had my password, which is actually one I use. So I changed that very quickly on the sites I used it. Said he/she had videos of me pleasuring myself and that they would be released to my contacts. Demanded 900 bitcoin. So nice to see there is consistency here as that appears to be the standard ask. Felt like emailing back saying go for it. Release what you have. Then thought better of it and decided to go back to pleasuring myself. That is far better value than forking out 900 bitcoin to this nobody.
Said he knew my password which was one I have used before and still use for some sites. Says it’s got access to all my accounts and collected private data through my webcam
Threat: I can send the video to all your contacts, post it on social network, publish it on the whole web, including the darknet, where the sick people are, I can publish all I found on your computer everywhere.
Asks for 900$ in bitcoin, for getting an old password.
blackmail scam, claiming to have recorded me pleasuring myself via my webcam. Says if I do not pay them in bitcoin they will send my information out to everyone in my contact list which they supposedly got from their malware which they had installed on my computer which they "supposedly" deleted, LOL!
Sender included one of my old email passwords in the email body (probably acquired from the old LinkedIn data leak) and threatened to expose sexy videos of me (ha ha wtf?) unless I transferred a few thousand dollars in Bitcoin to this account.

Like the others, he's asking for $1400 in bitcoin to this address. Threatening to expose my "video" to the world.. such a joke. They got an old password from the darknet where it was leaked, just to enforce they mean business. But again, it's an old password which I know was leaked because of some data breach.. waste of time.
