Received an email on iCloud email, which I never use, stating that I had been hacked and requesting a ransom.

I get dozens of those. Some claiming they have activated my camera and acquired scandalous images (🙄), some with old (breached) passwords, others arriving more recently with purported details of a carrier breach (seeking login credentials for that carrier).

Advertisements, scams, fake “you have (3) viruses!” and phishing are all endemic. Mail, texts, calls, everywhere.
