Email claiming that my phone/computer was hacked

[~King Lake~]

I received and email earlier with a .txt file attached (obviously I didn't open it) claiming he has some information about me, and this is what he wrote in the end of the email:

Subject had my name in it.
It came from this email address: meganvemarpen14@aol .com

...There's a reason they discuss cyberdefense, take heed of it, it's too easy to get access to your device.
I have saved ur contacts, and if I don't see my remuneration in 90 h, ur closest people will receive your .... .
Don't even try to reach agreement with me. Anyway, you will not be able to get in touch with me, I will delete this email.

Now the information he claims to have he said he received it through viewing my webcam! And I'm 99% sure that it wasn't even possible to get that information through my webcam because I'm not using my phone at home.

Should I even be concerned that my device was actually hacked?

I already changed my Google account password

Not to worry.
All they had was  your email address.
All the rest is phishing.

Absolutely not. Not to worry at all. Those emails went out to thousands this week.

I know plenty of people that got similar emails, and I have a feeling it was email addresses obtained from the parky ny data breach:

Can I get the file?

I'd send the txt file (email) to a trusted technical person to review (safely) what's in it.

But TBH what will you do if it really does have private info? (Recently I had a friend that got such an email with real private data in it stolen from a provider he was using.)

But hey I'm trustworthy

Didn't hear back from that idiot again.

I think it's safe to say that it was just nothing
