This was the second such email like this I've received asking for bitcoin. What got me thinking of this is Cumulus forum was hacked. This time it looks like they spoofed my email address because it was sent from same and real email address. It's a scam for sure because nothing is true and I don't have an indoor camera or visit porn sites. The password they used was real, at one time my hikvision camera pass and may have been used on different forums I no longer visit.
I found this information about sextorion-scam

Hi, dear user of xxx@xxx.com
We have installed one RAT software into you device.
For this moment your email account is hacked (see on <from address>, I messaged you from your account).
Your password for xxx@xxxx.com: xxxxxxx
I have downloaded all confidential information from your system and I got some more evidence.
The most interesting moment that I have discovered are videos records where you masturbating.
I posted my virus on porn site, and then you installed it on your operation system.
When you clicked the button Play on porn video, at that moment my trojan was downloaded to your device.
After installation, your front camera shoots video every time you masturbate, in addition, the software is synchronized with the video you choose.
For the moment, the software has collected all your contact information from social networks and email addresses.
If you need to erase all of your collected data, send me $800 in BTC (crypto currency).
This is my Bitcoin wallet: 1HqUfvPooEY3fQPsuM4dRzq5uzTQjDoYpt
You have 48 hours after reading this letter.
After your transaction I will erase all your data.
Otherwise, I will send video with your pranks to all your colleagues and friends!!!
And henceforth be more careful!
Please visit only secure sites!
Bye!
