I was shocked to see I received one of these emails.

I had watched a few pornos on porn hub. The next day I got an email on my private account.

It started out with my password and demanded I pay 3,000 in bitcoin in twenty four hours.

They claimed they had a video of me pleasuring myself watching porn.

I researched it and found it’s a scam that’s happening again during the pandemic.

I deleted it and put better security on my email.

I did look to see where my email had gotten compromised and saw a website I visited over ten years ago. Also a writing site called short fiction in the UK also had a data breach.

The password was old and not one I use anymore.

I think I got one a long time ago, forget which address it went to. I have several, including some I use as "dumpsters" for signing up for sites I know might be a spam problem. We had one hit a few mailboxes at work a while ago. I think it was in early March just before we went to work from home. I believe the VP/GM (a woman in her sixties) got one.

It was terrifying. I Have several emails but this came in on my personal account.

First thing I knew it was crap said they put software on my computer. I wasn’t on a computer.

I also wasn’t masturbating so that was wrong.

I did put a piece of tape over my camera. It was eye opening and am glad I didn’t get taken.

They said if I didn’t send the bitcoin they would send to all my friends on social media.

I knew that was a lie to because I don’t show my friends on any of my accounts. The password they had was so old and I don’t use it anymore.

They also made you feel embarrassed that you were caught. Everybody watches porn.

Please be careful and know the scammers are out.

I got the "saw you masturbating" one and shrugged, thinking, who hasn't?

Am I a good witch, or a bad witch? History will decide

Taking precautions like covering your camera with tape is a smart move to protect your privacy, even if the specific claims in the email were false. It's crucial to remember that scammers often use fear and embarrassment to manipulate their targets. They rely on people feeling ashamed or vulnerable to coerce them into paying.

You made a wise decision by not giving in to their demands, especially since you recognized that their threats were unfounded. It's essential to be cautious and skeptical when receiving such emails, and it's great that you were able to see through their lies.

If you ever encounter similar situations or have concerns about online security, a website like digitalinvestigation.com can provide professional assistance. They specialize in digital investigations and can help you understand the legitimacy of threats and provide guidance on how to protect yourself.

Taking precautions like covering your camera with tape

Most laptop cams and some USB cams have a shutter that you can close. Just keep it closed. No tape needed. The glue could mess up the lens.

For a desktop cam that does not have a shutter, take it off the monitor and put it face down on the desk/table when not in use or, if the USB plug is readily accessible, unplug it.

Not sure about built-in cams on monitors. Never used a monitor that has one. Maybe tape is needed there.
