Some loser that got his hands on an 6+ year old password file from linkedin.
description
Email send to sou, with you as sender (easy to do, but suggested as "evidence"), claiming they got your password from a porn site you visited.
They got the password from the Linkedin Hack in may 2012 and offered for sale on a dark market site 4 years later (2016).
LinkedIn had 164 million email addresses and passwords exposed. The passwords in the breach were stored as SHA1 hashes without salt, the vast majority of which were quickly cracked in the days following the release of the data.

Hello!
I'm a member of an international hacker group.
As you could probably have guessed, your account *****@******.*** was hacked, because I sent message you from it.
Now I have access to you accounts!
For example, your password for *****@******.*** is **********
Within a period from July 17, 2018 to October 3, 2018, you were infected by the virus we've created, through an adult website you've visited.
