My RDS account has been hacked

Question

I am getting a message in a read me format that my RDS has been blocked by an anonymous person and I have to pay him 0.01 Bitcoins. Below is the message coming in the table. Please help me with this
I have backed up all your databases. To recover them you must pay 0.01 BTC (Bitcoin) to this address: 12XPTNws8FHCCoqakhkx8TqfooyFeYd3GC . Backup List: refer2hire. After your payment email me at sqlrecover471@onionmail.org with your server IP (18.189.144.239) and transaction ID and you will get a download link to your backup. Emails without transaction ID and server IP will be ignored.
