Am I hacked? (received an email from my own emailaddress)

Hi,

I received an email presumably send from my own emailaccount, subject 'You've been hacked' starting with

'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.'

Etc.

So the content of the email doesn't worry me, but what I can't understand is why the e-mail is send from my account. Or why it looks like it is send from my account. It doesn't show any other address.

When I check Source of the message, the following pops up, but this to me is jibberisch... Can anyone explain to me why it looks like I send this to myself and if I indeed been hacked or not?

Thank you!

    I got the same email too saying they have p**n of me when I don't even watch that type of content, and telling me to send £1300 in bitcoin. No idea what's going on but hopefully Microsoft will fix it.

    I received it yesterday but saw it today. It also came from my own email account, and it says the same thing. I messaged with Microsoft customer service, and they could not explain how it was sent from my own email account. This is the only worry I have because I don't want to lose my email. I also did my 2-factor verification, and I suggest downloading the Authenticator app from Microsoft.

    I did install the Authenticator. Msn se t me to technical depth, who helped me install it, and changed me $40. The problem now is, it's constantly asking for password when I open the phone.

    IrIt's driving me up the wall. I wish I could find a way to space out the password requests.

    how can this matter be avoided? I have changed my password and added two-step verification and this matter will continue to occur. I wish Microsoft would send a notification or email that someone is trying to log in to the account just like Google does. (Not to cause beef with anyone, I'm just suggesting a consumer and very long-time Hotmail user)
