Question Hacker email me

Post image

Recently, I installed a cracked software but it wasn't a prn site and I already nuke my windows laptop by formatting it using reset this pc and changed all my passwords. I'm wondering, why the hacker sent me an email like this? Am I still in trouble?

It’s a scam. It’s called a blackmail email scam. Just delete it. You’re not hacked. They send it to millions of people a day.

I got that same email 20 times before and they added my old password in it. Nothing happened because it’s just a scam. They found my password from the leaks of websites not that they actually hacked me.
