Ask HN: How to deal with a blackmailer who wants Bitcoin?

I’ve had about 5 of those in the last two weeks. I wouldn’t worry about it.

You can probably figure out where they got your password by going to:

That article has a link to https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx/. You can report the incident there. More people should know about this.

Just ignore it. He probably got them from a dump and is spamming everyone.

Ignore - it is most likely just a scam.
