I recieved a threat last night in which the blackmailer claimed that he had infultrated my system and had planted child pornography and log information. If i send them a small (undisclosed) "donation" then the info would be wiped and i would hear no more about it.
If not then they would inform the police. I had 24 hours to comply which ends in about 2 hours.
I have searched my computer and cannot find anything. I know I should just ignore this threat and get a good nights sleep but I cant help worrying.
I made a note of the email address that a paypal payement was to be sent to. If I hear anymore about this then I will publish this address
