Sometimes I tweet these, but I thought that I’d post the most recent three emails demanding I pay extortion or else the criminals will allegedly post video of me that they captured while I allegedly masturbated while allegedly watching a porno site. I say “allegedly” although the criminals try to write as this is all definite and ruination will come to me.
Anyway, for those who want to track the BTC wallets to see if anyone makes payments to them, here are the latest failed extortion attempts. If any serious researcher or journo or law enforcement needs header info, contact me via email.

Hello, my victim.
I know your password – [password redacted by Databreaches.net**]
That is my last warning.
I write you inasmuch as I set a trojan on the web page with pornography which you have visited.
My spyware got all your own personal data and switched on your webcam which captured the process of your masturbation.
Soon after that trojan stored your contact list.
I will eliminate the compromising movie and all the information if you pay me 500 USD in bitcoin.
That is wallet address for payment : 1AzdzwWHaJXytimxenzi45JVtY4FsXwLZZ
(you can google on “how to buy bitcoin”)
I give you 24 hours after you see my message for making the payment.
The moment you see the message I’ll know it right away.
It is not required to share with me that you’ve delivered BTC to me. That address is related to you, my program will remove every thing instantly after payment confirmation.
You can go to the authorities but no-one can’t help you.
If you attempt to cheat me, I’ll see it straight away!
I don’t live in your country. Therefore no one can’t track my area even for 9 months.
Do not neglect the disgrace. Your life can be ruined.
** Interestingly, that may have been a real password from an app I used eight years ago. But access by that app to Twitter was revoked, and the password was never used for any other service. I have never seen any report of that app being hacked or breached, and the password is not in HaveIBeenPwnd.com, so I’m not sure what to make of it, but it’s interesting that the threat actor included what could be a real password used by their target/victim. I just wasn’t falling for it. UPDATED: It appears that including a password helps the attackers — this wallet, unlike the other wallets, already has 5 transactions as of October 23.
