If you’ve received the e-mail below or a variation that may be from anyone, we’ve had a user called “Sloan” and others.
Do not click on any links in the e-mail. Do not reply to them. Do not pay them.
This is a scam similar to the “we hacked your phone camera/webcam and have been recording you and will send to all your friends if you don’t put bitcoin in our account.”
It’s just that criminals fear mongering and preying on less tech savvytech-savvy
It may be a good time to get your IT guy to check your e-mail passwords and ensure you have 2FA on your domain and e-mail accounts.
They probably just got your e-mail from a database or scraped it off of your WHOIS details.

your entire database and move the ínformatíon to an
offshore server.
What does thís mean?
We wíll systematically go through a seríes of steps of
totally damaging your reputatíon. Fírst your database will
be leaked or sold to the highest bidder whích they wíll
use with whatever their íntentíons are. Next if there are
e-maíls found they will be e-mailed that theír
ínformatíon has been sold or leaked and your site
http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com was at fault thusly damagíng
your reputation and having angry customers/assocíates with
whatever angry customers/associates do. Lastly any línks
that you have índexed in the search engines will be
de-indexed based off of blackhat techníques that we used in
the past to de-índex our targets.
How do í stop this?
We are wíllíng to refraín from destroying your síte’s
reputation for a small fee. The current fee ís $3000 ín
bítcoíns (BTC).
