Don't worry. It's ok. But here is how to stay safe!
Here is how this scam works.
There are many tools and websites which allow us to do something for free. Now, you should ask as to why they are free.
Well, to capture leads.
Now you must have used a website in the past, be it porn or any website.
The person will send you these kind of emails as he or she has access to the site, the email you used to sign up for, and passwords you used there.
If you have used the same password, we are fucked big time. No doubt. But, if the passwords are different for different websites.
No problem at all.
All they do is "hawa me theer". They do an email blast and people like us who get closer to the audience they are targeting would pay.
So,
If you use same password, it's high time you change all of them. If you have gmail and all, enable dual authentication.
Go to settings and disable access permissions for any apps unless they are needed and you trust them. For example, you may sign in to pinterest using Google.
So, delete all such access in settings and enable dual authentication. But, do ensure your passwords are different. In case you have to sign up for some stuff make use of temporary email aliases available for free. And you should be good to go.
Hope that helps.
Unless you find some evidence of hacking, the above should work.
Thanks,
[QUOTE=KamaMan;2450932]Got similar email. Password was 10 years old one and I know that that password was compromised. Didn't bother at all. I do use porn site + masturbation. But the possibility that someone can record using laptop camera is extremely low (Only big spy agencies have those capability).
Unless someone sends you a copy of some compromising video, there is nothing to worry. Just chill.[/QUOTE]

The threat that somebody can hack into camera is real. Even, Mark Zuckerberg puts a tap on his laptop. I remember reading about this in an article.
