Hi, Anyone here have experience getting an email from unknown (SPAM folder). I use Yahoomail & received an email from a random person saying that they have hacked my email account & demanding money within 48 hours or else they will lock my device after 48 hours. Is there any way to prevent from the device being locked?

I tried checking at haveibeenpwned.com & found that my email address & password were both affected in the public breach.

In it happened in two different times:
