"I wanna see you try" or some shit like that

niggers tongue my anus

It's an automated spam email taken from massive databases of password leaks.
There is absolutely no reason to respond.

Its probably just spam, I bet they included in the email about how they hacked your webcam and have pictures of you jacking off and are threatening to send it to your family

What the **** did you just ****ing type about me, you little *****? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class at MIT, and Ive been involved in numerous secret raids with Anonymous, and I have over 300 confirmed DDoSes. I am trained in online trolling and Im the top hacker in the entire world. You are nothing to me but just another virus host. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on the Internet, mark my ****ing words. You think you can get away with typing that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ****er. As we chat over IRC I am tracing your IP with my damn bare hands so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your computer. Youre ****ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can hack into your files in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in hacking, but I have access to the entire arsenal of every piece of malware ever created and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the world wide web, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ****ing fingers. But you couldnt, you didnt, and now youre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** code all over you and you will drown in it. Youre ****ing dead, kiddo.

Everyone has gotten this by now, usually in their spam folder but maybe it slipped by. In my case, it was a 15 year old password.

Kek, the only true answer

I hit them with:
"shit the fuck up pajeet nigger"
haven't gotten a response

This. They automatically send this to 10 thousands of people and target those gullible people who respond to it.

"fuck my boipussy"

this

you do change your passwords regularly, right, Jow Forums?
and you SURELY don't use the same password for multiple services, RIGHT? that would be quite SILLY.

This is a shit scam that gets sent to everyone.
They get a dumped list of a million passwords tied to email addresses and email the email address their password.
Nothing's going to happen, don't reply, don't make yourself obvious, they won't try your password on any sites, there are too many fish in the barrel.

Your time is counting!

kek you fucked up
better send him the money retard

Send them webm of you masturbate

That's exactly what it is.

>Your time is counting!

typical russian

this dude provides more competent tech support than most companies I've dealt with

kek

Yeah I figured. It shows a password I used years ago.

IIRC I changed it because it got leaked.

Typical ransom/blackmail scam. Just do a virus check of your shit, redo your passwords, and make sure to mark the email as a scam/phish if your email provider allows that. Most of the time those types of things will be because they hacked someone's porn site/social media site from like 10-15 years ago and got your login info from them. So, they mass mail everyone they got emails harvested from that site the same message with whatever pass/email info they have.

I actually have tailored passwords for suspect websites and an email to use only for those. When one of those emails are received, I can see exactly where the leak/brute force occurred.

If you reply, using your email, they will now know the email is still legit and you'll get all manner of other spam that may get through your email provider's anti-spam algorithm.

act scared like you're going to pay, tell them they need to send you a small sum of btc like 10 dollars so your wallet service can authenticate their wallet so you can send them money then keep the 10 dollars

I got that one like 4 times
each time demanding a different amount of cash
just some shitty spam mail
Ignore it

kek

Don't say anything and check your spam filter

Oh no, not CVE-2020-1666!

I got one of those for an old email/password combo I no longer use. But it wasn't a scam, it included my password in the email and was informing me that my password was leaked, probably found on one of those leak databases.

It did spook me, seeing my password I used to use everywhere sent to me by email, but I follow better practices now.

I give them props for being creative
they're probably using a AI to change the message each time

boring
I thought your reaction surely meant they blackmailed you into turning on your cam and putting on your programmer socks for their pleasure

I got an e-mail telling med they infected me and know my previous password 123456789
I haven't used that one in 10 years. I really want to know where it is from.

Sauce pls

Basically this

>Mfw use passwords for every service that is relatively the same. Numbers change as does the service it's for, but all the same root word.

Is it any better that the root word I use is a completely made up word consisting of 2 obscure words from an ancient dictionary that I slammed together?

navy seal copypasta duh

the services that actually told me that a leak has occurred, i have only changed passwords on those because those annoying motherfuckers didn't let me continue unless i changed my password

Don't use the same username and password to every site you register. That's the easiest way to hack accounts.
Also, use a 2FA Authenticator if possible.

>have a database of ~300k accounts+passwords
>checked some randomly and like 1 in 5 has the same password on email and facebook

>email says he got video of me faping to porn video
>only fap to 2D hentai pic.
not today hacker.

>i remote accessed your webcam!
webcam?

monitor.firefox.com/

email them back asking for them to pay you if they want the new password

>pc has no webcam or microphone
>we recorded shit from your webcam and microphone

I get like 10 of these a day, they're all bots. No one monitors the email addresses.

This sounds so runglish

>somehow made my email address with a UK email by accident as a kid
>scam emails constantly use euros and european companies/locations thinking I'm from a different continent
Makes me smile every time.
