I get my share of spam -- most of it goes into the spam folder where it belongs.
During the past months I found a few spams disguised with the name and email address of former business clients and today the name and email address of a close friend in my inbox. The business clients I have known for a number of years and are not spammers. Furthermore, I have not done any recent business with them. I don't know if they are Mac or Window users so I suspected perhaps some windows malware snatched my email from them and sent the spam masked with their name and address. Today, I received a lose weight spam from a good friend who is a Mac user. Since I am the desired weight for my height I know this is not a hint to lose weight. This friend also uses a smart phone (Blackberry) to exchange emails. So here's are the questions, are any of my Mac's responsible for this? Or, are spammers hacking into my friend and clients email devices to cause this disturbing disruption? Or what else could be causing this? Is it something I should be concerned with? This raises a lot of red security flags.
