piratage de boîte mail

[ROMANj]

Bonjour,

Mon ordinateur est en principe "protégé" par Malwarebytes Premium.

Pour autant ma boîte mail a été piratée, et reçoit en parallèle de plusieurs "pirates" des messages demandant le versement d'argent sur un compte sous peine de voir diffusés des messages désobligeants à mes contacts.

Que faire ?

Cordialement

This is purely a scam and they send those emails out en masse hoping one or two bite at the bait.  

Just delete the email and then change your email password to a new Strong Password just to make sure.

Additionally, you can enter your email address(es) in the following site and it will check to see if that email address was part of a known breach.
