Help me to out of scam

4 replies
Today, I got an email from my email account, Say my email account is xxxxxx@abc.com and I got an email to my spam folder
To : xxxxxx@abc.com
From : xxxxxx@abc.com

With a "Click here" link, I am sure this is spam, but I am afraid, how are they able to send it from my email address? Is my password hacked? any advice?

    The very first and simplest thing you want to do is change your password. This has solved the problem for several people I know of in the past that have been hacked in some fashion.

    Yes, Its better to change your password and put some extra security like mobile phone verification as offered by gmail.com to avoid hacks in future.

    You should also do a thorough scan of your computer for viruses/malware. Your contacts may also be getting spam emails from your account.

    If this is a recent occurrence, you may want to restore your computer back a few days (or a couple of weeks). It may help the issue.

    In my opinion it is from the server where u can send the the email using mail function
    nothing much to worry
    You check the ip from where the email has fired
