E-mail hacked for advertising?

[Area 11]

So i wake up, log into my e-mail as usual and i have 63 unread messages saying that i sent an e-mail that didnt yet get received. The e-mail only has one thing in it and its a link that reroutes to a site selling Viagra and shit like this.

I havent sent any e-mail with such nonsense in it, let alone one to everyone on my friends list. Yes it tried to send to my whole list.

I have change my pass, and am now running Malwarebytes.


heres a pic of the e-mail(s), each one has different recipients from my friends list.

Does anyone know what/who this might be? Also, my mom told me that a site that she pays some bills with had a message that said that she is on a different computer and to type in her user and pass. We have NoScript running on her computer so if it was a different site it wouldnt have worked.

She isint and never has been on a different computer with that site.

I think that its too much of a coincidence that my e-mail has that in it and her bill pay site says that shes on a different computer than before. And no our ip hasnt change for over 6 months.

If someone can help me find out what happened and how i can get my computers secure, it would be greatly appreciated.

If Malwarebytes doesn't pick anything up then you probably were hit by a phisher.
Just make sure to change your password and security questions.

If you get emails from the people that emails were sent to saying that you sent them to, simply apologize.
Also send the victims, an email saying that they should not download anything from your emails. (in case a virus is sent to them)

Most likely you contracted some sort of adware/malware. If malwarebytes doesn't work, change your passwords with an On-Screen-Keyboard (typing with the mouse )
