Just had my first blackmail email - which directly referenced the leak and included my password. Filed it away for future use should anything legal kick-off against Guntrader.

What was the gist of it?, if you don't mind me asking.......
"The only real power comes out of a long rifle." - Joseph Stalin

Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank.....give a man a bank and he can rob the world!.

It was a generic copypasta porn videocam hack threat. I'm quaking in my boots... Copied below for your enjoyment.


"Yeah it's me !, I know **PASSWORD REDACTED** is one of your password on day of hack..
Lets get directly to the point.
Not one person has paid me to check about you.

You do not know me and you're probably thinking why you are getting this email?


in fact, i actually placed a malware on the adult vids (adult porn) website and you know what, you visited this site to experience fun (you know what i mean).
When you were viewing videos, your browser started out operating as a RDP having a key logger which provided me with accessibility to your display and web cam.

immediately after that, my malware obtained every one of your contacts from your Messenger, FB, as well as email account.
after that i created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were viewing (you have a nice taste omg), and 2nd part displays the recording of your cam, and its you.


Best solution would be to pay me $5914.


We are going to refer to it as a donation. in this situation, i most certainly will without delay remove your video.


Bitcoin address: 1PQkVfvndARHFnZVkUGeN882SCScgmN496
[case SeNSiTiVe, copy & paste it]


You could go on your life like this never happened and you will not ever hear back again from me.

You'll make the payment via Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search 'how to buy bitcoin' in Google).


if you are planning on going to the law, surely, this e-mail can not be traced back to me, because it's hacked too.
I have taken care of my actions. i am not looking to ask you for a lot, i simply want to be paid.
if i do not receive the bitcoin; in 24hrs, i definitely will send out your video recording to all of your contacts including friends and family, co-workers, and so on.
Nevertheless, if i do get paid, i will destroy the recording immediately."

If you need proof, reply with Yeah then i will send out your video recording to your 18 contacts.
it's a nonnegotiable offer and thus please don't waste mine time & yours by replying to this message.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if everyone in GT's database doesn't get the same email.

Actually, is it GT related? I have had emails like that in the past.

It included the password from the GT hack - so I've assumed so?

I last used GT 15 years ago and no longer have the email address I signed up with so I won't have that problem.

A friend contacted the "ambulance chasers" and was told the maximum claim is £1,000 and they keep 25%. Also he would need to buy insurance against the cost of "disbursements".
