The full text of the email scam:
You may not know me and you are probably wondering why you are getting this email, right? I’m a hacker who cracked your devices. i setup a malware on the adult video (porn) website and guess what, you visited the site to have fun (you know what i mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out functioning as a “HRDP” – Hidden Remote Desktop Protocol having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and webcam. After that, my software program obtained all of your contacts and files. You entered a password on the websites you visited, and i intercepted it. Of course, you can change it, or already changed it. But it doesnt matter, my malware updated it every time
What did i do?
I generated a backup of your every system (private document files, video, photo, all files). I created a double screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you’ve got a good taste haha…) and 2nd part shows the recording of your webcam. Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (all of your data is already uploaded to a remote server) Do not try to contact me. Various security services will not help you; Formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help either, since your data is already on a remote server. I guarantee you that i will not disturb you again after payment, as you are not my single victim. this is a hacker code of honor. Dont be mad at me, everyone has their own work.Exactly what you should do?
Well, in my opinion, $500 (USD) is a fair price for our little secret. You’ll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search “how to buy bitcoin” in google).
My bitcoin wallet address:

(its case sensitive, so copy and paste it)Important:
You have 46 hours in order to make the payment. (I’ve a facebook pixel in this mail, and at this moment i know that you have read through this email message). To track the reading of a message and the actions in it, I use the Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (Everything that is used for the authorities can help us.) if i do not get the bitcoin, i will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, coworkers, social network and so on. Having said that, if i receive the payment, I’ll destroy the video immediately.
If you need evidence, reply with “Yes!” and i will certainly send out your video recording to your 6 contacts. It is a non-negotiable offer, that being said don’t waste my personal time and yours by responding to this message.
