They promise to return everything back to normal if i pay for bitcoin wallet.

A hacker managed to worm his way into my email account, holding it ransom and sending me an email from my own account to attempt to extort a sum of $500 from me. - My son was quick to remedy the issue and remove him from the email account, and has done various full scans of my computer to ensure he didnt get in through means of a virus.

Just received an email blackmailing to send money to a bitcoin wallet or else they would share personal information of mine unable to provide a definitive email as the email is spoofed as my own email. I already know that its a scam but I wanted to report so this wallet can be dealt with preventing anyone else who receives this email that believes it and would pay the money.

The email contains alleged information and data about the person concerned. The email password was also hacked and also displayed. There were threats to post videos and links to, for example, porn sites.
