I've been Hacked

[bobmac]

If anyone receives an email from me, please delete it and dont open any attachments.
Some kind person is sending spam emails through my account.
I've changed my password so hopefully that will stop it.
So much for Norton security service

I've changed my PW. Will that stop whoever it is sending any more?

Depends on what they have and where they are sending it from. They've possibly gotten hold of your address list. They can continue to send to those addresses anytime. Unlikely (not impossible) that they are sending from your home PC, or local mail account at home. Probable that they hacked hotmail/ gmail/ yahoo mail or any other web based mail and may be sending from that. If that's the case then changing the password should stop them from accessing again, unless they hack in again.

Difficult to determine anything further without more details.

Same thing happened to me last year. Changing the password didn't help as the virus was on my computer. I ended up changing my e mail account as nothing else stopped it. I kept the old address, but deleted all my contacts except for 1. I left a back up e mail address in the contacts list so that I could immediately see if it happened again. It's happened again since but as it can only send e mail to my "dummy" contact, then I no longer have the embarrassment of e mailing all my senior directors sites for cheap Viagra. None of my anti virus helped at the time as the virus would just replicate itself in another location every time it was located.

Bob's new advertising.....

Buy a V-Easy today and get a special free gift.....25 spam emails!!

 

[SatchFan]

Perhaps the Viagra emails were just advertising for stiff shafts.

Someone must have hacked in after they got wind of your new invention the P-utterlyuseless. either that or they have just been released from secure accomodation


Hope you get it sorted

I've been reading a lot of posts from you recently where you were really losing your rag about the full handicap allowance in singles matchplay.
I kinda guessed that somebody had hacked your accounts or something because nobody in their right minds could get as wound up over something as silly as that, so knew they could not be serious

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I had a similar experience. I deleted my contacts from the address book and changed the password.

 

[sev112]

Was it you who sent me "buy one get one free on Day and Night Skincare"

And if it was, was that the spam or the real you ?
