Bitcoin payment requests. According to its website update, an email from the address [email protected] claims to have copied all the recipients personal data and threatens to publish damaging videos unless Bitcoin BTC is paid. The scam email contains a link to a Bitcoin wallet and may contain malware. The email falsely uses the name Patrice Joyce and claims to be associated with the legitimate companies Attwaters Solicitors LLP and Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors. However, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in the UK confirmed that they do not authorize or regulate a lawyer named Patrice Joyce. (Cointelegraph)
