Heads up! There is a blackmail scam going around where they claim that they have you on webcam stealing/watching porn and demand payment, lest they tell your friends/family/employer. Basically, if you've ever been caught up in a website breach, they have enough info to make it sound legit. Expect these type of emails to keep coming, just turning into other "embarrassing" topics over time. For example, on a different board, person said that they got a phone call from a burner number threatening them for torrenting files using breached data as "proof" that they know who this is and what they did. Usual warnings: don't use same password everywhere, use a password manager so that you can use random passwords and not have to remember them, and be savvy when getting these. https://gizmodo.com/dont-fall-for-this-scam-claiming-you-were-recorded-watc-1827557323
