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. Blackmailer claims that he hacked your router, installed spyware, and has been collecting data from you. Blackmailer will keep your data private if you send him Bitcoin.

Spoofing a yahoo.jp email account. Blackmailer claims that he hacked your router, installed spyware, and has been collecting data from you. Blackmailer will keep your data private if you send him Bitcoin.

Just like the others. The criminal lied to have my data and wants to send a large amount in dollars. I hope he will soon be punished. Source IP address is multiple blacklisted for example on Barracuda, CBL, SOTBS etc.

This continues to happen from various BitCoin accounts. They have hacked my email. They have my password to some website I visited. They installed malware and screen shots from adult content websites I supposedly visited that they will send to my contacts. They typically do ransomware but graciously decided to just have me pay varying amounts from $603 to $953. I have 48 hours or else. No idea whether it’s related but it seems to happen in a 1-2 day burst after I use Firefox.

same as others - ...sent bitcoin to 1D49zuodTjc8qafAJm4ZQT2RJyCozqSvSw....
