I got calls and emails yesterday from people in my Contacts saying they got emails from me that I did not send. The emails were directed to only one contact and the subject was Re: 1, Re: 2 and so on. The message was brief before a link, like: Wow, I didnt know you could make money on the internet, then the link.
Im using a Mac Mini 10.7.3 and MAIL. I also have an iPhone. Everything is up to date.
My contacts are only on my mac and iPhone, not imported or available thru my online access to my email account (ATT Yahoo).
Not everyone in my Contacts received these emails, but people who dont know each other got them - people only I have in common in my contacts.
So what the heck has happened?
Did my mac or iPhone get hacked? Is my other info at risk?
If my email got hacked how did they get my contacts?
I sometimes share emails with several of my contacts by BCC. Could it be that I shared an email with the people who received this Spam and the info was hacked off of one of their unprotected PC's?
I ran ClamXav and it found nothing. I have changed my password and security info.
Any help appreciated
