Some of you may have read about this.  Google it if you wish; it makes interesting reading and, believe it or not, I've been targeted with an email which purports to come from your own account telling you that the sender has a video of you watching porn etc., and demanding money not to release it.  They also say they can see everything on your screen.

For somebody not too savvy this email looks very worrying but, for me, one of the give aways was that my monitor doesn't have a camera.

Beware - just ignore it.
