From: Save Yourself Subject: Your private data - cashel1964 Hi, I know one of your passwords is: cashel1964 - but not only that!
Your computer was infected with my private malware, because 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".
My malware gave me full access to all your accounts (see password above), full control over your computer and it also was possible to spy on you over your webcam!
I COLLECTED ALL YOUR PRIVATE DATA and I RECORDED YOU through your webcam, I must say - the result is some good material! :)
After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces and this email was sent from some hacked server.
I can publish the videos of you and all your private data on the whole web, social networks, over email of all your contacts.
But you can stop me and only I can help you out in this situation.
The only way to stop me, is to pay exactly 900$ in bitcoin (BTC).
It's a very good offer, compared to all that HORRIBLE SHIT that will happen if you don't pay!
You can easily buy bitcoin here: www.paxful.com , www.coinbase.com , or check for bitcoin ATM near you, or Google for other exchanger. You can send the bitcoin directly to my wallet, or create your own wallet first here: www.login.blockchain.com/e n/#/signup/ , then receive and send to mine.
My bitcoin wallet is: 1EwCEJr5JwpafZx11dcXDtX5QSPJvzth17
Copy and paste my wallet, it's (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE)
I give you 3 days time to pay.
As I got access to this email account, I will know if this email has already been read. If you get this email multiple times, it's to make sure that you read it, my mailer script is configured like this and after payment you can ignore it. After receiving the payment, I remove all your data and you can life your live in peace like before.
Next time update your browser before browsing the web!

Received the above -- has anybody else? Lots of webpages says it's fake, which would be easy to believe since my webcam has been covered since I bought the computer, that password way way down my collection of 'em and I haven't used it in 12 years. But other pages give removal instructions? Is this just trying to make a sale on people's groundless fears?

Opinions please. I just bought some serious AVG coverage (which I prolly don't need, but it's cheap). Gets great reviews, hope it's the real stuff. AVG Password Protection took about 15 min. to download so mebbe it's heavy duty.
