I got an email with a rather disturbing title yesterday.
Here is the content of that email:

Having been the target of a similar threat regarding the Patreon hack, I did a bit of due diligence, searching around to find out if anyone had reported on the same story. Nada.
According to the so-called hackers, I had 5 hours to pay them, but now we are way past that deadline with no ill effects. It seems pretty safe to say that if you ignore this email, you will be fine and so will your website!
Don't fall for these tricks if you can possibly avoid it.
