Had an email from a friend saying she thinks my email has been hacked. I've checked with her and it's genuine.
The subject line is 'Blog for Jude' and it contains a link to a .ru URL. Neither of us are clicking on it!!
It shows my name as sender but the actual sending address is not mine. I don't think it's a straight hack of my email as I've always known her as Judy rather than Jude so she's Judy in my contacts list. The only place I've seen her as Jude is Facebook. I don't know if other friends know her by that name.
My thinking is it's either a Facebook security issue or some mutual friend has been hacked and the 'bot' is feeding off their contacts list.
What do the experts in here suggest?
