I've registered in 2014 according to the date in my profile and since summer last year I receive a lot of mails to the email address used here for registration.. Currently it's a run of 60 mails in the last 5days. The mails also contain my password at that time in plain text (which made logging in for me easier 
). The text is always the same.
I receive the same mails only to another mail address which was used on a web site with a well-known hack/data breach, but not to my many other mail addresses.
So was there a data breach in the past? Probably before 2025-05-06?

Hi,
Your device was infected by my private malware.
For further information search for 'Drive-by exploit' on Google.
My malware has granted me full access to your accounts, complete control over your device, and the ability to monitor you via your camera.
If you believe this is a joke, no, I know your password: REDACTED
I have collected all your private data and RECORDED FOOTAGE OF YOU MASTURBATING THROUGH YOUR CAMERA!
To erase all traces, I have removed my malware.
If you doubt my seriousness, it takes only a few clicks to share the video of you masturbating with your friends, family, contacts, social networks, the darknet, and to publish your files.
You are the only one who can stop me, and I am here to help.
The only way to prevent further damage is to pay exactly $800 in Bitcoin (BTC).
This is a reasonable offer compared to the potential consequences of disclosure.

My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet address is: 1Lt6KLKPhFdejD8QSUjwvVk6UUNGQ4vskP
Copy and paste this address carefully, as it is case-sensitive.
You have 3 days to complete the payment.
Since I have access to this email account, I will be aware if this message has been read.
Upon receipt of the payment, I will remove all traces of my malware, and you can resume your normal life peacefully.
I keep my promises!
In the future, ensure your device has the latest security updates installed.
