lol, just relaised I got an extortion email from some chucklefuck trying to get bitcoin outta me, saying they got video of me from my webcam (WHAT webcam?? rofl) of me watching porn, and threatening to send it to my friends and family unless I pay about 1k in bitcoin.

Turns out you can look up a bitcoin wallet address and see how much is in it, and if it's been reported for fraud/scams. Well, there was one before, and there's another now, and there's no transactions on it, and no balance. haha

So yeah just be aware if you get an email that has your own display name as the sender (and a random email address that's almost certainly spoofed) as well as one of your old passwords (probably one you've used before but already changed as a result of it being in one of those data breaches which is basically publicly available), claiming to have keylogged you using a porn site and hacked your webcam and display, and contacts, it's fake. They're trying to scare you into paying bitcoin. Ignore it

@Nine our mailing list used to get them fairly often, makes even less sense when it says "hey $organization board, we caught you watching porn"
