Most spam is the result of computers being taken over by trojans which send out spam email and worse to everyone in your address book. The two that the list received also sent out others to individuals in the address book of the infected machine. How do you guard against hacking your email account password? Change your password for your email account to one that has numbers as well as letters. For us with poor memories for that sort of thing, simply put some familiar numbers in front of the password you already use and capitalize the first character of the characters. A has a different code than a and capitalization helps prevent hacking (guessing what your password is).. Hackers sell lists of usernames and passwords to even criminals who use them to steal from you. No webmail provider is safe from hackers. Now any email you receive that includes several names on the CC: line and only contains an website URL most likely was sent by a Trojan even if you know whose name it is from. Do not click the link in the URL of such mail because you will be tempted to click YES rather than NO at some point on the website. I'm not a genius.....I have fallen for them also...hahaha Strengthen you email password NOW rather than LATER.
