Sent an email to an employee of our company (a non-profit) to her work email from (we're assuming) a spoofed version of her own email. The email claimed to have hacked her and have video of her, which would be distributed to her email contacts if she didn't send money via bitcoin.

I received email from my own email. They ask 713$ in bitcoins. They are writting :" The fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited. If you are not familiar with this, I will explain. Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device. This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it. I installed a malware on my computer and having captured video showing me looking to porn (I know that it is impossible).
