E-Mail Password Threat
Hi all. I finally received that dreaded Email wanting $912 or they will shut me down. It shows one of my Passwords correctly. What can I do about it?

How would they know one of his passwords?
From any of the dozens of corporate breaches. Most recently Facebook, USPS and Starwood (Hilton).
Change passwords frequently and scan for ransomware. I have mixed emotions about storing data in "the cloud" but it's probably a good idea to at least backup the important stuff out there (Google Drive and iCloud come to mind). If your machine gets locked down with ransomware you can recover it.
