Ransomeware email

I have received an email which starts, "I am a professional hacker, I have access to your operating system" it is saying they have some video of mine watching pornography and will make it viral. They are asking me to pay bitcoins. I searched on internet it said such emails are scam. I have reported to cybercrime portal.

Should I be worried??? Has anyone ever got such an email?? If yes, what happened??

Obviously fake, but if you are even slightly worried then you might be addicted to porn, and might be fearing embarrassment of being caught. All the best.

It's fake , just that even if you see one of your old passwords in the mail, don't worry. Many data leaks happen, and your mail and passwords are available in the dark web. Use tools like mcafee to be aware of leaked passwords and account data. Keep changing passwords and enable 2 factor authentication.
