Yesterday, I received two emails from an unknown address with the subject – I strongly recommend you check the information in this email. Both emails had identical content – word to word. The emails were both, threatening and educational! Given below is the content of the emails. My comments on the emails are as usual in red.

Greetings,
I am sorry, but I have to start with the bad news.
A few months ago, I gained access to your account linked to OS (OS? Which OS??), and therefore to all the devices you use for internet browsing.
Then it was easy for me to install special software on all your devices that tracked your every keystroke and mouse movement.
After that, gaining access to your personal e-mail my correct email id mentioned here was no longer a problem.
Your password on that moment was: y2f3bnbvcmu5mg Nah! Not correct.
I'm not a genius or a brilliant hacker. You are just completely careless about digital hygiene and internet safety. No Sir, I am not careless.
You seem to be completely unaware of incognito tabs, VPN, TOR, and clicking on suspicious email links. Oh. I NEVER do that. And YOU the reader should also NVER EVER DO THAT.
And here is the point of my email – I have accessed not only your browser history and files but also your webcam.
Not only did I record you pleasuring yourself watching a video of highly controversial content, (Oh I don't do that also. So you are BLUFFING) but I also got all your digital conversations.
Lest you think it's some fake editing, some of the footage of you is duplicated from several of your devices.
Everything you value – your friends', coworkers', and family's opinion of you – is jeopardized.
You've spent a long time building your reputation as a decent and responsible person.
Neither you nor I want to destroy it in one click.
The click which will send everyone you know, love and respect a questionable video with you and the most “remarkable” records from your browser history.
I hope you've begun to realize that I can turn your former life into shame and embarrassment in one moment.
However, I am a rational person and I don't want to make anyone suffer for the sake of suffering, so we can make a deal. No you are not a rational person. You are a blackmailer.
You need to transfer $1370 USD bitcoin equivalent to this BTC crypto wallet: 12mwSFYDyCWta8uMNxq52mENdi3nkjQGa5
It's a very small amount for not losing the reputation you've been developing for years, maybe even decades.
Once I receive payment, I will delete all materials once and for all.
Since I monitor all your PC and mobile activity, I'll notice when you send the payment as well as when you read this email.
You have 48 hours to make a payment, starting from the moment you open this e-mail.
I'm a man of my word, you can trust me, otherwise, I would have published it long time ago. Some advice in advance:
– Don't reply to this letter. This email was sent from a randomly generated address. First true words mentuioned in the email.
– Don't call the police or any other authorities. As soon as I notice you're trying to contact them, the videos will be published online. In addition to that, crypto wallets are anonymous, so no one will ever track me.
– Don't try to reinstall your system or reset your device. As I mentioned, as soon as I get a notification of such activity, I will post all the materials.
I'm sorry that we had to meet under such circumstances, but fate is fate.
Adios, senor. I hope this is the last time we interact.
P.S. Kind reminder: please be more careful about your internet security from now on, and then you will never run into such situations.
My take on such emails:
1. IGNORE. The sender has no dope on you. However, you must take the following precautions, always
2. Use an anti virus on you systems.
3. Do not click on links from unknown senders.
4. If you're watching anything remotely pornographic, put a sticker on the device web cam!
