Problem. HELP.
A friend I've known for many years sent an email the other day. Without thinking I opened it as I often have.
Well, no surprise I guess. It wasn't from her at all but one of those Viagra ads. I closed it and wrote to her informing her I thought her email address has been hacked. Or stolen. Or whatever the term is.
Now of course, I am getting mail that says it's from her but I know it isn't by the subject line.
Even with the first one I opened, the subject line had a name I didn't know but since it was from her (I thought), I opened the damn thing.
I have run scans on my pc and nothing has been found but of course, I still have no way of knowing if my book has been compromised. Do I? Unless I hear from ppl. Meanwhile .... what do I advise her? And what steps need to be taken by me if any? Once I report it as spam, I am liable to block all legitimate mail from her. I think.
Oh Boy.
