"Has anyone gotten emails with there password from sites demanding money or they will send out your pics was told security was breached here"
It's a scam that's been going on for a couple of years. Probably threatening you by saying they have your on your webcam etc etc. It's completely fake |

Yeah it's fake, happened to us while away on holidays and we thought someone hacked my device through our apartment WiFi. Panicked a bit and deleted our fab account first thing then worried for the rest of the holiday that a screenshot of my device would be shared. Never considered paying them.

There is a free service from haveibeenpwned that will alert you if your email address shows up on the darkweb through a website breach. They have a sister site for password checkers if they ever showed up on a site and have a massive password dictionary that hackers would use that helps you avoid easy passwords. |

As has been said before it's alla load of bollocks. Your details have been discovered from a previous breach of one of any number of websites. Either change your passwords to passphrases (the cat sat on the mat) or complicated passwords of usually a minimum of 12 characters, manage these by using a password manager for ease. |
