Save yourself!!!....so said the email, followed by.....
Hi, I know one of your passwords is: 01360136 - 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) SATISFYING YOURSELF!
After my job was done, I removed my malware again to not leave any traces and this email was sent from some hacked server.
My plan is to publish the video of you and all your private data on the whole web, social networks, over email of all your contacts and everywhere else.
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 1200$ 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/en/#/signup/ , then receive and send to mine.
My bitcoin wallet is: 1GTzcCBW79F3BtBdN9jx7hqNq65ebbt1Wm
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!

second email was titled with only startling password, and a masterful nastygram if ever there was one...
01360136
To:
01360136
I know 01360136 is one of your passwords. Lets get straight to the purpose. No-one has paid me to check about you. You do not know me and you are most likely thinking why you are getting this email?
in fact, i actually setup a malware on the xxx streaming (porno) web site and guess what, you visited this web site to experience fun (you know what i mean). When you were watching video clips, your web browser started out working as a Remote control Desktop having a key logger which gave me accessibility to your display and web camera. Right after that, my malware gathered all your contacts from your Messenger, FB, as well as emailaccount. Next i made a video. First part shows the video you were watching (you've got a good taste lol), and next part displays the recording of your cam, yeah its u.
You get a pair of alternatives. We will take a look at these types of solutions in particulars:
Very first solution is to dismiss this e-mail. in this situation, i will send your actual video to every single one of your contacts and imagine concerning the awkwardness you will get. Keep in mind if you are in a loving relationship, exactly how this will affect?
2nd option would be to pay me $999. We are going to name it as a donation. in this scenario, i will right away eliminate your video. You can keep everyday life like this never took place and you surely will never hear back again from me.
You will make the payment through Bitcoin (if you don't know this, search 'how to buy bitcoin' in Google search engine).
BTC address to send to: 1JQHAtyqLGy6iQKCuPaZMY6LLYz4GrQLnt
[case SeNSiTiVe so copy & paste it]
if you may be wondering about going to the cops, look, this e mail can not be traced back to me. I have covered my moves. i am just not trying to charge you much, i simply want to be paid. mail if i do not get the bitcoin, i definitely will send your video to all of your contacts including relatives, colleagues, and many others. Nonetheless, if i receive the payment, i will erase the recording right away. If you really want proof, reply Yeah! and i definitely will send out your video recording to your 6 friends. This is the non-negotiable offer, and so please do not waste mine time & yours by replying to this email.

If I watched porn, had a desktop and webcam, faceplant and messenger accounts, and etc, I might be very frightened, but, as George C Scott in the movie "The Con Man" said, "You can't cheat an honest man."
Am tempted to reply that I never pay in anything but gold or diamonds, but have better things to do than play go-fish....
Password is at least 10yrs old, but shows the microsoft server was surely hacked.
