I have helped my friend last on discord. So he bought something from someone and he sent him a piece of software and he didn't want to open it and then I did it for him on my other laptop. Turned out it was a trojan. But now for the terrible part. He wrote to my friend 2 days later and sent him two video recordings of me and also my IP address. The IP address was correct. He wants 100 euro from me now, otherwise he'll do something. Can I report him for this? I'm really scared.
Yes, you can charge him with blackmail. Then you get compensation for pain and suffering and he has a criminal record for the rest of his life.
But what evil can he do with this data?
He can publish the videos.
You have to judge for yourself whether that would be bad.
It is not bad. But can he do something with the IP address?
No
If he could do something bad, he would have threatened you too and asked for well over 100 euro.
If he just says he's doing something but doesn't want to say something, then they're empty threats.
What can I
do?
You can't do anything. The most you can do is do something.
And what?
Report for predatory extortion
Nonsense.
he has a criminal record for the rest of his life.
Nonsense. It would be better if you stayed out of it.
