Hi @gddesign,
Welcome to the community!
It is best to make a complain or raise this to the Authorities to get a proper legal action.

You should simply ignore the demands of the person making the threat and not give in to their demands for payment. It's generally not a good idea to pay the ransom or give in to the demands of the person making the threat, as this can often encourage them to continue their behavior. It's also a good idea to be cautious about what info you share online and to take steps to secure your accounts, like using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.
