Hack / Malware / Blackmail. Need Cyber Investigation & Security Professional
I received a disturbing communication on an email I don't use for extra curricular activities using fairly accurate names and locations with threats of exposing my exploits if I don't pay 'X' amount. What's disturbing is I'm pretty careful in what devices and methods I use to not overlap my alias with real world. I don't know how it happened, but need to nip this nefarious person (s) in the bud of whatever leverage they have. My first instinct is retort with "F* around and find out". I'm not about to be 'handled' with threats to my person, family, place, and property. I consider these messages life threatening. Looking for someone skilled and accomplished in cyber investigation to backtrack, find out who and where this is originating and possible countermeasures. I'm hoping someone in this community can either assist or point me to a resource while remaining anonymous.
Stay Safe.
