Disturbing email from my own icloud address I received a disturbing email from my own icloud email address. Whoever, referred to me as a pervert and said they hacked me and were going to send sexual videos to everyone in my contact list unless i paid them money. Of course I'm not going to do that, but how did they send me an email from my own address?

That scam has been posted many times. They do not have access to your account and the email address was spoofed to try and scare you. They also do not have any pictures of you. There is no spyware on your device.
