Since I don't even own a webcam (with which they are trying to blackmail) and the password is very old, I'm not worried, however, apparently some pr0n sites sold data, are trying to get money one way or another by sending these emails, or were actually hacked.
Anybody else?

Probably hacked. It's enough someone has some old wp blog with some shitty plugin on their server and EVERYTHING on that server is vulnerable. They'll upload a php shell, and can access configuration files for other scripts/domains and get data from those databases. Bigger issue is people storing unhashed passwords.
