Bitcoin blackmail scams are a type of cybercrime where fraudsters send emails claiming to have access to your sensitive information and demand payment in Bitcoin.

These scams often feed on usernames and passwords obtained from previous security breaches. If you receive an email like this, it is important to not pay the ransom and to change your passwords immediately.

Even if you do pay the ransom, there is no guarantee that the scammers will not continue to demand more money or release your information. In some cases, victims have been unable to recover their funds or identify the perpetrators.

Beware of this new scam!!
