Wow, your email experience is more fascinating. That's a more creative/elaborate spam scheme. Nice of you to go ahead and physically check, too.
I'm thinking these people may have somehow embedded spyware on the victim's computers, and monitored their password that way. This is quite an advanced attack, and even bypasses SPF records, because I checked the email headers, and they legitimately had everything A-okay and authenticated, as if the person really sent it from their own account.
- ndimopoulos 16y agoI agree the attack is very elaborate. However it might not be even malware as you suggested to sniff the password. A lot of users use the same password in a lot of sites. It only takes one to be hacked and that is it.
- jeromec 16y agoYeah, I agree it could just be bad password management. I've got the spam from 3 different people so far, so I thought it might be some similar and widespread attack.
