About the blackmail phenomenon threatening Google Adsense accounts in the world

There is a fraudulent group that attacks sites, channels and applications by flooding you with traffic that violates the laws of Google
This will disable your Google AdSense account

Group activity: Email publishers and channel owners who display Google AdSense ads by paying Bitcoin in exchange for emailing your ads with invalid clicks and visits

Some publishers have a notice in the following Google Adsense control panel: (a huge amount of web traffic generated by bots at a large rate and thousands of IP addresses alternately)

Google monitors all invalid traffic, clicks, and impressions of publishers
And Google knows everything about this so you don't have to worry

It also knows the group's traffic that was created by the bot and monitors the traffic type and IP as it has no harm to the publishers

During the previous 3 days: the group contacted more than 18,000 website and YouTube publisher owners via email

A new email scam threatens website owners with a flood of bot traffic to get their Google AdSense accounts suspended, Krebs on Security reports. By directing a large amount of bot traffic to a company’s banner ads, the scammers could trigger Google’s automated anti-fraud protection, which flags traffic that looks like “automated clicking tools or traffic sources,” as well as any attempts by ad publishers to artificially inflate impressions by clicking their own ads. Under Google’s policies, such actions could result in an ad being restricted until the matter is resolved, meaning few or no clicks on the ad, and less revenue for the publisher. source

The scammers in the newest scheme promise not to unleash their bots on the publisher’s ad if the publisher sends a payment of $5,000 bitcoin. Brian Krebs shared an example of an email one of his readers received:
