    I dunno if this is the place, but earlier today i had a spam thing come through my email with the password i use for here involved. It was a blackmail thing saying they had my name in some **** sights and had taken over my camera and i had to send them 500 bitcoins.
    I got Googles Password check up to check if any of my passwords had been breached in the last few years..my password here on BA hd been breached. I changed my password..i guess this scam they get the major breaches and send out these e-mails to ll the names thry have from the breach
    .
    Might like to change to change passwords on here..heads up

    Just as a precaution, download and run Malwarebytes. You may not know where or how the breach occurred. I just checked my password with Firefox monitor and no breaches are detected for my login.
    Thanks for the heads-up, I will be monitoring this.
