Person says they hacked my personal email, and are threatening me via email that appears to be written from my own account.

I don't feel sorry for the idiot that paid. You are too stupid to own a computer.

I have received close to a thousand of these emails. I have paid nothing to these useless assholes.

Emailing asking for 1650 US Dollars transferred in Bitcoin or will release "will leak the most damaging content to your contacts and post it to a public tube for perverts to explore".

Claimed to have collected videos and texts and require payment of 1650 USD in bitcoin so they won't release it.

Теперь и по английски. И денег больше хотят. По русски хотели 700, тут уже больше полторушки насосать хотят. Ну, пусть сосут.... I am sorry to inform you that your device was compromised. I'll explain what led to all of this. I have used a Zero Day vulnerability with a special code to infect your device through a website. And blah-blah-blah

Sent an email from my university account, not spoofed but in my sent emails it was there too. Below is the script they used: So here is my offer. I need a consulting fee to delete the media content I have been collecting. My modest consulting fee is 1650 US Dollars transferred in Bitcoin. Exchange rate at the time of the transfer. You need to send that amount to this wallet: 1nJCE7GPLEgKVtoDB2vNKxivw3U6ogMeS

Typical "I saw you watch porn and I'll show everyone" though this one had better grammar than most of them.

I am sorry to inform you that your device was compromised. I'll explain what led to all of this. I have used a Zero Day vulnerability = with a special code to infect your device through a website. This is a complicated software that requires precise skills that I have. It= works as a chain with specially crafted and unique code and that’s w= hy this type of an attack can go undetected. You only need one not patched vulnerability to be infected, and unfortunate= ly for you – it works that simple. [...] For you to clearly understand, my software controlled your camera and micro= phone as well and it was impossible for you to know about it. It was just about right timing for me to get you privacy violated. [...] My modest consulting fee is 1650 US Dollars transferred in Bitcoin. Exchang= e rate at the time of the transfer. You need to send that amount to this wallet: 1nJCE7GPLEgKVtoDB2vNKxivw3U6og= MeS The fee is non negotiable, to be transferred within 2 business days. We use Bitcoin to protect my identity. Obviously do not try to ask for any help from anybody unless you want your = privacy to be violated. I will monitor your every move until I get paid. If you keep your end of th= e agreement, you wont hear from me ever again.

same as all the others, just wanted to add to the report number. claims he has my accounts and devices hacked, has videos, texts, habits of mine, doesn't personally care about me but wants like 1600USD in Bitcoin. Claims if I seek help that he will leak my stuff to my contacts and perverts. Lowkey scared me tbh.
