I received a phishing email from this campaign or a similar one several months ago. The email opened with my name and contained a Google Maps photo of a house where I'd lived 8 years before. The author claimed to have hacked my laptop and captured videos of me doing embarrassing things. They would release the videos unless I paid them $1000 in Bitcoin. I searched and it's an extremely common scam, but I did panic for a few minutes.
