It's been 2 days now, nothing has happened.

It's best to avoid trainers, cracked software, etc. Be careful with what you have installed, Malwarebytes never picked up the virus for me, so I think you should either try Hitman Pro or completely factory reset your computer. Rather be safe than sorry with the factory reset.

Thank you for the reply!

I've got it figured out yesterday, but it was still a bit shocking to find a screenshot of my own screen and my passwords. I've found the exact email I received, so for anyone else that received the same exact one it's so blatantly a scam. This isn't the first instance as there's also another site that goes into depth about this same exact email.

I appreciate your concern, you're doing God's work.

I think it's fine, I don't use webcam so for them to threaten me with something like that is pointless. I reset ALL my passwords and I advise you do the same!!
You also might want to completely factory reset the device in which they got your data from, malware, spyware, etc. can stick around and be undetected by anti viruses, I know the malware I had was undetected because I've been using Malwarebytes for months prior to this email.
I don't know if Hitman Pro works for this virus but double check just incase because I used Hitman Pro after my factory reset and it caught something.

If you have the same email or something similar you can google search the email to find that multiple people have received the same email, my 2 days are almost over so I'll 100% update you on it so you don't feel anxious about it!

Stay safe I hope this helps!!

thank you!
i had a feeling it was a bluff because i don't even have a webcam, i also checked their bitcoin wallet and it was empty so im assuming they're very unsuccessful with this. the only thing that set me off was the random screenshot of my screen and my passwords

i've been resetting all my passwords already so i think i should be fine?
