Report it to the police. Also, make sure he actually has the file. Blackmail is a crime and should be reported.

Report it anyway. To answer your question, if someone managed to get you to inadvertently install some spyware from Facebook on your computer, they could possibly access your files.
Best bet is to verify he actually has the file. If he does, report it to the police.

It's not possible to format a hard disk through facebook,
but this person may have installed some kind of spyware on your computer and access it that way.
(did you ever open some kind of attachment from an email from him or something?? that way he could have put it on your computer)
As others have said, you should contact the police!

Well, in the future keep truly sensitive media on a storage device that's not connected to the Internet and encrypt it.
I don't know what you have that would make you "dead" but unless it's so illegal that 700€ is a good deal, just accept it.
Maybe I'm boring, but the most embarrassing file on my computer is probably either any of the Katy Perry MP3s or a picture of me in my underwear.
If you're doing illegal things, keep them on a separate machine than the one you browse the Internet and conduct frivolous personal entertainment on.
But if it's kiddie porn, forward it to your local police kthx. Otherwise, what could be that bad? Sorry for suggesting the worst - I'm just an innocent soul who can't really imagine what could be worth 700€ outside of the realm where you could just pay someone to have this guy shot.

**** just got real.
Anyway, you can report it to the police, I think it's a violation to someone's privacy, blackmailing is a crime, but if that "thing" is just somewhat illegal, maybe you should pay the price, that's what I've learned in Breaking Bad (tv series)
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
I can understand how a lot of things can complicate people's lives - I can see if they got work information that you would get in trouble for having publicly released - but in that case I would be contacting my employer first to have them get their legal team/the police on it.
I just don't keep secrets very well, I suppose - so I don't have really anything that could be used as "dirt" against me so the situation confuses me a little. If someone got naked pictures of me and published them, it's not worth 700€ to me to stop them - might as well be proud and admit, "yep that's what I look like under my clothes, crazy that we all tend to have genitals, huh ?" Though I suppose if you were entrusted to keep naked pictures of someone else (that you presumably cared about) that would indeed be a problem and a difficult situation - pay 700€ or possibly lose a relationship with someone.
Or proof of an affair, a hidden past as a porn star now that you're an elementary school teacher who lied about that past, pictures of that time you did lines of coke off a prostitute's buttocks, or video of when you paid to kill a child in a Mexican hostel for cheap thrills. I guess I'm just not cool enough to get invited to parties where that kind of thing happens so I don't have to worry about it.
@OP, if it's not this bad, I hope it cheers you up that it could be worse ? If it's that bad, er, sorry.
Google has more dirt on me than anyone who scouring my hard-drive could get. They have the proof that I'm a barely-sentient mouth-breather who Googles the stupidest things imaginable and is incapable of installing anything on Linux without a tutorial, apparently, and went on an hours-long search binge looking at pictures of baby ungulates.
Unless it's really, really bad instead of merely embarrassing, I'd just admit it myself first and leave the "blackmailer" without anything of worth. The choices here seem like either do that, pay it, or put a measure of faith in the police in whatever country this person is located. I'm not sure how effective it would be to get this person's personal information and threaten to release it and try to drum up a media fuss - would that scare them or would they just try to take you down with them ?
I'm also curious as to how they pulled this off seemingly without indication (not doubting it, just curious).
Nono dont worry its nothing illegal but it is just a plain stupid video of me that i do not want anybody to see im quite a shy person you see... meh he haven't contacted me yet back i assume he let me go away whit it...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I used to be very shy, but now I'm merely a private person. I learned a very good "lesson" that has held true so far - admit to yourself and be honest about it and people will respect you for that. If they don't, well, why let it bother you? That's their problem if you've personally accepted whatever happened - good, bad, or just stupid.
I have "secrets" that could potentially put my life in danger. But why let someone have that in a manner where they might not stop after one extortion - what's to say they won't just ask for more money later ? Better to tell them to piss off and then prepare myself for whatever.
Try, "haha, [blackmailers name] thinks they can get me to pay 700€ to keep this down. Well, here it is and now it's worthless since you all can view e being a moron right here, right now - go nuts"

This reminds me of many many years ago while working for a call center. Stupid user calls and gives you the worst description possible. Then you wind up having to write a thesis in order to get the information you need because they can't even describe the issue. At least they weren't trying to make changes to the system, they were just using it b/c they were smart enough not to try and modify something they know jack about.
The problem here is ESTO (Equipment Superior To User)

Please click the link. And read. We all want xda to stay up and running. Thanks.
Ok I read it, but not following, how does taking down the site for the day prove anything when that's what the government wants? Damn if I would black my site out.
You didn't read the whole thing did you...it clearly says that they are taking down the website to raise awareness in order to get more people to voice their opinion on SOPA. I for one WILL be supporting you guys, and I am EXTREMELY happy with the amount of fighting that various big name websites are doing to help put an end to this before it even starts.
Thank you. As am i. The government is wayyyy over stepping there intended purpose wih this one. And most people do not realize the affect this would have on the entire internet/ free speech. Which is why large websites are trying to spread awareness. I mean this would probobly shutdown websies like xda you tube and many many others.

Lol. I didn't know people studied for the ASVAB. Matter of fact I think I was drunk when I took it. But then I didn't study for the ACT either.
I didn't really study at all and I got a 94. Prior to the real test I took a practice one online.

This may come off as somewhat of a rant but this has bothered me for sometime now. Whenever a rom developer releases a new version they include a change log. That change log tells you what they added or took away obviously.
Now my question is why would a developer add in the change log "even more!" added to every change log as if it would increase my excitement to try the rom?
My personal opinion is that it doesn't increase my excitement . To me It makes the developer look unprofessional. It makes it seem as if the developer did not keep notes of every change they made to the new version. It makes me think they add it to try and get more donations from their loyal fans.
As a programmer details are important and I want details. Adding in fluff is not necessary and makes the rom look unattractive to those who know what they are actually doing when they flash someone else's rom.
Would you risk putting sand in your gas tank if it was advertised to increase mileage? Then why would you do it to a expensive piece of equipment you purchased?

I completely agree. Writing software professionally requires that you keep a detailed and updated log about the changes you make.
I'd love to go to one of those threads and ask the 'developer', "So.. what do you mean by 'Even more!!'?" (I realize that the punctuation in that last sentence was crazy haha). I'm sure he wouldn't be able to respond, with anything logical. If he surprised me with actual details however, all I'd tell him to do was put that in the damn changelog!
Watching the way XDA has transitioned over the years, I too agree that most of the time it is just a ploy to get more donations. Seems XDA has been going that way for a while now.

That's because many many "developers" are simply not professionals, maybe they are not old enough to understand that or they are not serious about development and are just learning. Think you are talking about cooks though.
Guys you have to remember. This is a hobby to most people and they do it for fun not professionally. Its easier with aosp as you can see the changes on the git.

I realize most people who do it steal someone else's rom, make a few changes and try to get donations.
There is some dev for my phone that is on version 20 of his rom and only has 2k views. Every change log says "even more! I cant remember". Seems sketchy. Anyway you guys get the idea. Be honest and professional about a rom.

That's how it is sadly, but there are 'devs' without 'RD' titles who do it for hobby, support multiple devices, take no donations because it is their hobby and give proper changelogs with link to gerrit. It depends on the individual.
