Scam Email?? says my iCloud account stolen I've received a threatening email that "appears" to have come from my account, when I click on the email it says I need to pay xxx USD and they have videos of me doing things I have clearly not done. Claiming a program Pegasus has been installed on one of my devices. I'd write it off immediately except for one thing.. I use an @me account, but I think this is coming from the associated @iCloud account. Anyone know if this is a known scam??

hacker attempt using <normal email name>@icioud.com I received threatening hacker email which appeared in my iCloud "junk" folder. The hacker was saying they had sent it from my email iCloud account, and when viewed it clearly looked as if from <my email name>@icloud.com when i right clicked on the sender email name. Only when i looked at the full widow pane did i seen in <my email name>@icioud.com. Presume this is why it came into my junk folder. I have forwarded the email to Apple reportphising@apple.com and assume they are looking into it. It is quite deceiving.

Delete it and ignore it. There is no guarantee on where the email came from as the address could be spoofed.
