This has a similar goal to the Phish attempt, “Hi, I’m sorry but You’re going to have a bad day”.  The goal is to persuade the receiver into transferring bitcoin to the sender. It tries to convince the receiver they have already been hacked and the sender will release compromising data about the receiver.

The “From” field is spoofed to appear the email is coming from you. This is an attempt to extort funds. Delete the email if you receive something similar to this.
