He said that he has all my files, addresses, etc. and that I should pay him 800 USD otherwise he will distribute everything he got of me

instant scam. they are not very smart and using absolutely no security measures. with the ip they sent it from you can see all other domains they possess. i just emailed back asking them to remote into my comp (VM) because i cant understand how to use the google machine. this will be fun!!

Some moron threatening dissemination of data/media that doesnt exist unless a sum of money in the form of BTC is transferred to the listed BTC address.

This is obviously the biggest nonsense, paying with Bitcoin is anonymous so the scammer cannot know who the money came from (there is no sender). The story as described in the mail is therefore incorrect and is not based on truths. Abuser is trying to blackmail me by claiming that he has my private videos and will publish my videos online if I pay 720USD to bitcoin account within 24 hours.
