I gather the sole purpose is to obtain valid e-mail addresses (they are worth a fortune) which is exactly what those in your contact list are. They then dish out spoof or phishing mails to further validate, or immediately try to access your personal info. Hacking is bad enough for the user, but I can only imagine how it feels to have your contact list accessed too :-( As I said to you Rhonda, my mother-in-law had to delete her hotmail contact list before the spam e-mails stopped, but she changed her password around that time too so it's hard to know what the exact fix was.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12813415890134133213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-12048549432165925882011-10-07T08:13:47.500+10:002011-10-07T08:13:47.500+10:00I received two from you as well and deleted them s...I received two from you as well and deleted them straight away.

Deleted it and was about to let you know then spotted this post! It came to my private email that I don't use on my blog but know that I once emailed you before I set up a separate account just for the blog. Yes, unfortunately it means they will have all your contacts.
