Could you elaborate on the nature of bitcoin blackmail emails? Are they a common occurrence in the cryptocurrency world? How do they typically operate? Do they target specific individuals or are they sent randomly? What kind of information do they demand in exchange for not disclosing sensitive material? Are these emails legitimate, or are they merely a form of cybercrime? How should one proceed if they receive such an email, and what preventative measures can be taken to avoid becoming a victim? Your insights would be greatly appreciated in understanding this phenomenon.
