There has been a lot of phishing emails circulating lately, where Spammers are trying to con unsuspecting people into thinking that they have hacked their email account.
Generally the email will be sent from the users account, (or appears to - but again this is just a trick that they use called 'Spoofing' to make it look like they have sent the message from your account).
Please just ignore and delete these emails. We monitor accounts on the server and know when an account has been hacked.
The email will look something like this -

Hello!
I have very bad news for you.
03/08/2018 - on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account user@yourdomain.com.au
On this day your account user@yourdomain.com.au has password: 91suite
So, you can change the password, yes.. But my malware intercepts it every time.
How I made it:
In the software of the router, through which you went online, was a vulnerability.
I just hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
When you went online, my trojan was installed on the OS of your device.
After that, I made a full dump of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts).
A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a not big amount of btc to unlock.
But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and I was shocked by what I saw!!!
I'm talk you about sites for adults.

They then threaten to expose you to friends and colleagues unless you make a payment to bitcoin.
