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!

    If you hacked, you will not access to your Email, the good news is : no you didn't... the bad news is : they will try to hack your account.

    What to do ?

    Tou don't have to do anything, i recommend you change your password to stronger, when you change password use a home internet not public, and delete or save everything important if you have something important in your Email...

    Last thing you need to do is recovery code , I think it's 42 codes you need this in case if you loss your account some time hacker will change all recovery way ... but they can't change that codes... if you have those codes then it's like passport to your account and you can recovery your account... good luck.

    Seems like this has been going on for a while.. more than an entire quarter and yet no announcements from Outlook leadership team to do the least!!!

    Fearing media attention lowering their nasdaq I assume!

    Very disappointed!

    Hello!

    I received the same email, and I reported the email as a concern, and it disappeared.Now I cannot retrieve the email and cannot check where it came from. So, I tried to change my password, but my account would not let me change my password, because I changed my phone number that is no longer in use.

    It keeps on displaying,

    "You can't access this site right now This site requires a security code to sign in. When your security info updates on 9/21/2024 you will be able to access this site. You can still access sites such as Outlook and Skype that don't require a security code." Is there anyway to change my password before 9/21/2024? Is there other ways to solve this problem? And why do I need to wait until 9/21/2024?
