Theres a site called “have i been pwnd” I dont recommend it particularly, but it might point to where the issue is .
I got the same email yesterday as well. Overnight i got an email from microsoft saying my account may have been hacked and asked me to recover account ( genuine microsoft ) i reviewed sign in history and had 4 attempts from china, brazil, egypt. I also noted an alias was added to my account so removed that email address from being able to sign in.
Yep got the same email.
Reports that Zoom accounts and passwords hacked. If Zoom password used on other accounts, beware.
What is zoom?
I don’t use it, but seems to be FaceTime for group meets

video conferencing.
Much better than Skype. The most common thing with Skype meetings is looking at people trying to get their connection working. Zoom works well from the start, and for all but the most technically inept.
But my daughter works in IT in San Francisco - she was just telling us yesterday that Zoom has terrible security. Pretty timely: overnight, 500,000 Zoom accounts compromised.
She knows of a case where someone clicked on an old link and got into a meeting hosted by the CEO of some random company.

I sent him a dick pic - that should be worth more than the 1900 dollars he demanded.

Quoting was no help at all, … 
How does the quoting thing work? I do that and still get the black squares.
Why’s your text English use Greek letters?
That’s the exact font used in this particular email. No idea why.
