My apologies if this is the wrong sub, but was wondering if anyone had any similar experience?
This morning my spam folder received an email informing me that someone had "hacked" my home computer through an "adult" website, and had created a duel screen recording of me cranking it, along with the video playing on the screen. The email does list a password I've used (may still use on older sites/email accts) in the past as "proof" of the hack, and goes on to demand ~$2600 in Bitcoin ransom within the next 24 hours. If payment is not provided, it goes on to say that the video will be shared with all of my contacts.
Typically I'd wave it off as a scam, but I'm a little concerned given that the email does contain a password I use/have used in the past. Anyone have any experience with something like this?
Edit: I found a similar email with the same information earlier in the month. Obviously nobody emailed out a video of me cranking it, so I'm thinking this is clearly a scam and that I should just change out all of my email passwords ASAP.
