Hello Blue
It is possible my Blue password has been captured somehow, so I changed it today.
I received an email to my main email (recovery) address claiming the sender had my password (correct)
but did not include my Blue username nor send to my Blue message account. Since I have used variations of this password in other venues, am not sure if the problem originated here or in other accounts.
Sender claimed to have taken control of my computer & webcam, threatened to release "embarrassing" data to my email list if I did not pay up through Bitcoin.
Thought you should know. Has anyone else had this happen?
Is it possible a hacker may have obtained the password on the BigBlue site?
