[Hidden-tech] Need advice on some threatening emails

[Stephen Michel]

Ignore it. I've recieved similar emails and am sure I am not infected. 
They're just preying on people who aren't tech savvy enough to verify 
their claims.

The "this email comes from your address" part is likely spoofed email 
headers to make it *look* like it was sent by you, even though it was 
actually sent from a different address.

Plus — and this goes for all ransom and extortion schemes — you 
shouldn't pay them even if they did have some dirt on you. They don't 
lose their leverage once you've paid them, so there's no guarantee they 
won't simply demand more money afterwards.

I try to write short, functional emails.
