I just got an email from "Hacker" claiming they have my face and it is under review. It sounds like a scam or some sort so I didn't open the email for the potential risk. Has anybody received this email as well? I simply deleted it, but I still feel uneasy....should I also do something else?

Well, I don't have a phone thingy like that. That's why I enabled two-step verification. If someone tries to login and they're not on a trusted device, they are required to enter a code which they must retrieve from my secondary email address account. No code, no entry.
What did you do ?
Received exactly the same version yesterday
It’s literally so annoying but it is a scam so just dont open them sort of emails and change your password regularly. Also to be extra safe download Microsoft Authentication App so whenever you decide to login on your laptop for example a code will pop up on your phone so you can check it against the screen and approve it. Obviously if you have not logged in and someone else has you can decline it straight away and they are unable to access.
Thank you after seeing i am not the only one getting these email i see its a scam...
