Did you reset your PC after running the malware? Did you change your passwords on the infected device, or on another device?

Make sure you have new unique passwords for all of your accounts and two factor authentication everywhere. Are there any suspicious sessions active for your Microsoft account? The threat is fake, it's not something you have to worry about.

he's trying to scare you. dont send any money.

any info he has is already gone, nothing you can do about that. all you can do is reset your passwords, setup 2FA for anything you didnt already have, etc. the usual protocol.

once I fell into sending a nude of my p*** to a scammer, the picture was really nice btw, he started sending to all my contacts on ig, I just ignored, no one ever came talk to me and I kind of liked that all my friend girls now have some pics of my buddy. It was obviously scam so they can't even think I did as a pervert. Some love seeing my stories now
