Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account. I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly.Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I’m getting at.******

The point is, it's not your account. it's just a spam email that mimics your email automatically. They're sending those automatically to thousands of email addresses, hoping that someone will fall for the blackmail.
Just delete the email they sent you and move on.
If you look closely at the headers, you'll see that the email address in angle brackets is HOTMALL.com NOT hotmail.com
It's very subtle and difficult to spot.
It's a very well used scammer technique
I had the same email, although my email/facebook/amazon/netflix accounts have all been hacked at the same time. I’ve reset all my passwords and put extra security on them, but still unable to recover my FB account, and their customer service so far has been awful
My accounts were also hacked! Including Facebook, email, Instagram, TikTok, Epic Games etc. I've also changed my passwords and account usernames/addresses. Is there a chance they could have stolen contact information or any kind of personal information including family/friends? Or even my computer that has been attached by the same mail as my Windows?
