uneeq, so i changed the password to a new one that I never used before and is exclusive to my email. i had mcaffee running the entire time, and ran a scan after as well-nothing came up. i also checked my other accounts and nothing was wrong with them. i’m usually very good about spotting the spams-but i haven’t received one recently so not sure how it got it. i looked at the recent activity for my account and saw it did get hacked-IP address said was from Illinois.
I do have a spam email account that i use for random websites but ironically thats not the one that was spammed. my main email was spammed. quite embarrassed.
