I havent gotten one lately, but for a while I was getting them...
Spam messages that are claimed to be from someone I know.
Like say I know Joe Smith, whose email is [email protected]. I might get an email that says it is from Joe Smith, but with an email of [email protected], and a subject of "hello".
Inside of the message is a URL to a site that is who knows what. These arent really detailed or special emails, not spear phishing or anything fancy.
But somehow they know peoples' names that I do contact. Friends, family, etc.
I dont send data over wifi besides my own, which is secured. I dont go to questionable websites.
So any ideas? I find it hard to believe that so many others, my wife included, whose account I know is secure, are hacked themselves.
I have a good password that is secure for any account I use, and nobody has ever reported spam mail from me.
Any ideas???
Thanks!
