While checking my email from the Outlook Android mobile app, I received an email into my Junk folder - from my own Hotmail account.
It says my email account was hacked through my Microsoft acct.
In the email, it says they have installed Pegasus Spyware across all my devices.
The email goes on to say I have 48 hours to pay $$ to a bit coin account.
The whole thing sounds like an obvious scam but how do I know if my Microsoft & Hotmail were hacked?
What do you recommend?
Thank you!
