Subject line: Reminder... Sent to my work email with the spiel about recording me visiting adult websites and diddling myself. Asking for $1450 USD in Bitcoin. #1 - Not sure how they could have installed a virus on my work PC, as the HR fortifies our web security. #2 - I do not use a webcam at work. #3 - If I were to do any such thing, it would sure as heck not be at my place of work. #4 - How did they obtain my work email?
