I got this email

[Swenna]

Definitely a black mail. But don't be fooled. Based on their actions, it looks as though it's not legit. No legit or real hacker will email the people with accounts they're supposed to hack just to ask for a ransom or small amount of btc. If they really want your coins that badly, they can just hack your account since according to them, they have your security details, instead of blackmailing you. You can ignore messages like this.

You can be hacked

We represent a hacker group that focuses on hacking of crypto-currency wallets and exchanges. We know that you keep your coins on these exchanges.
We got the database of users and passwords of the largest exchanges in our hands, but to get into the account we need to bypass two factor verification, collect private keys from your PCs, brute force mnemonic words. That will cost us some time.
We give you the opportunity to exclude you from the base by reward us and we will remove you and we will not use your data.

The amount we require is 0.01BTC

Bitcoin Wallet to pay: 1492bBQhiSRgS7k25mUsaedTSjwHkaWQRh

Believe me, it\'s better to pay us than are afraid that at any moment you can lose all of your funds.

After payment send us a letter on (I REMOVED THE EMAIL) and we will exclude you from the database.

IS this a Form of blackmail ? ....I don't keep anything on the exchanges all my wallets are off line and paper ....what A supersize they will get ...an I'm poor ...

This is totally a spam . I've got such threats in the past aswel . Do not fall for such spams .
The clear indication of the scam here is that the person does not have any details of your address or specification is not clear that why the account can be potentially hacked . Thus , this clearly smells something fishy . The devil is in details. Getting such databases is not easy , actually near to impossible until and unless there is some authorian access of the developers . Other than that , one cannot have a data base of private keys . Someone ask the spammer to present the private key of an address with zero balance . That would be pretty interesting to know whether you will get the correct key or not.

i took the liberty of including some words that were left out of the original mail  

this is just a general speculative mail,
i dont think this would actually work because nearly all crypto users have some sort of tech savvy.
in this actual case you could just move your  funds to a different wallet
i checked that wallet address and guess what . . . no transactions  

[Lancusters]

This is clearly a form of blackmail. But I don't understand how this is possible. If you get in the mail a letter from unknown person or company you don't have to open it. Why did you do it. If it was hackers then there is a chance that after that your computer is infected with a virus. Better to be safe and change the passwords on their accounts and resetting the system.

[Aamir1]

What a poor scam attempt. If a group of hackers get the databases of users in a exchange, they won't let them know it by email and ask them to donate them just 0.01 bitcoins for excluding them from their list which they are gonna attack.
I don't understand why some people think such things will work for them and they will really get some money out of it. And i also i think, what if a person really gets afraid of such a thing and send the money asked for?  He should be called the fool of the year.

LOL. Very professional hackers indeed *insert sarcasm* and very funny indeed. This form of blackmail will not succeed and I don't know if one will fall for this kind of trap. Maybe they just harvested a lot of emails and try this form of blackmail to see if it works. But as of the latest, that wallet address is still empty so I guess this is an epic fail. This just shows the everyone is targeting those crypto enthusiast around because of the huge money involved. This is likely candidate for one of the most dumbest criminals ever. LOL.

Just stay strong and be responsible of what you do in this cryptoworld.. This world will attract even more scammers and hackers in the future.

Responsible and also be aware that these hackers will do something that is really unusual just to claim some fine bitcoins from other people. That email is really sick a hacker that says "You can be hacked", it's just an email and not a ransomware that is just a person that doesn't have hacking ability but still don't fall for those people.

[Netnox]

Just ignore these sort of mails. It shows that the sender is unable to hack in to your wallet and is desperately trying to extort money from you. But at the same time, it is worrying that he came to know that you are holding Bitcoins. I would request you to immediately increase the security of your wallet, by adding 2FA.

They are actually just spamming harvested addresses from spam-mail databases.

They know NOTHING, these disgusting fake-hacker tards.

The email where I received that threat is one that I never used on any exchange/webwallet etc.   

Then there is nothing to worry about it. But I am sure that a lot of noobs are going to fall prey to such dirty tricks. I feel pity about them. Everyone should remember that purchasing the Bitcoin is not the end of the job. The real effort is to store it safely and securely from the hackers and wallet thieves.

[yojodojo21]

Haha pro hackers, no need to tell you anything if they are really pro, I think the statement that should be send to you must be like this "we know your email address username so we will blockmail you with our foolishness". OP should reply  like this " since you message me I am able to trace your IP address and have taken all your information's you fool" feeling cool.

(Laughing so hard with feelings)
