Mozilla does not do any email service to public (they do have @mozilla.org given to a small number of people who for Mozilla in some capacity) and Thunderbird is just a email client you use to view your email from whatever thousand of email domains out there like the popular gmail.

Anyways this is a copycat bulk email being sent out to random email addresses. https://blog.cloudflare.com/lizard-squad-ransom-threats-new-name-same-faux-armada-collective-m-o-2/

What site is it that you think you have that would be hosted by Mozilla? Mozilla isn't a hosting company.
