I recently got some Emails saying that my computer was infected with a RAT malware and in the Email, it said my password so I know its not fake. they said I had to pay them or they would release my data after 2 days. however, it is already past that deadline when I saw the emails and nothing has happened, and I downloaded malwarebytes and deleted anything suspicious, but I'm still terrified! please help!

And nothing will happen! It's a scam and an idle threat. They do not have any access to your Mac even if they have your Apple ID. Ignore it. But change your password.

It is fake. Thieving scammers are phishing for your personal/financial information. Never respond to these emails.
