A few days ago, I got an email from a site I haven't visited in years. Similar content to this, but broader in scope (not just AMP). The email claimed they had hacked this site and since the owner would not pay, they would release MY info (name, IP address, email, etc.) if I didn't pay bitcoin. They included screenshots of comments that I actually did write years ago, and the dates and discussions rang true. Again, I haven't been on the site for years. I moved. New ISP. And the email address has always been a junk bin.
And no, I didn't pay anything. Email was marked as junk, and domain blocked.
Nowadays, I use VPN, incognito mode, and run several scanning programs regularly. Just a cautionary tale.
