Hey guys, I just received this message below from two different friends, and looking at the To: field, the message seems to have been sent to everybody; which probably means that spammers somehow obtained passwords to these users' email accounts and sent the advert to all contacts in the users' address books. This appears to be worm behaviour to me. Now the question that I wish to ask is... how on earth did these spammers get these passwords? Phishing? Anyone heard of the story behind this email? It's on several sites on the net, but all that people are saying is to change your password and use a strong password etc. but my guess is that all this is an unconfirmed solution, though I believe it could work. But the problem is not that someone can send an email from my account without my consent, but that he/she can get my password. That's what worries me. So, anybody got any ideas on how this could have happened? Thanks, Me. 2009/4/28 <dicksonmwangi356@hotmail.com>
