I disagree, Manuel. This does not mean that Javier has been hacked. What they do is to use your address name, but with a different @ address. Most people don't look at the @ part of it, just see the name they recognize and assume it's a good email. There's nothing anyone can do about that. Passwords have nothing to do with it. If someone was to hack MY contact list, they would get the names of everyone, attach a fake @ address, and then send an email to everyone else on the list using those contact names because there's a chance people would open it. But people whose names are in the email address are not the one who got hacked. It's the person who had the contact list.

I suspected it was not you on the very first because by knowing you, via your posts, you would not send an email asking to click on a criptic link. I looked at the header and saw weired emails with an .eu ending. I believe this to be "european union" which is another name for Russia. This has to be very fustrating since it may affect communication with your customers. You been hacked and I will pray for you that you will find the way to solve this issue.

I did not keep his name or e-mail in my contacts so I know it did not come from my Outlook contact list. I know other associates have received similar mails and I am not sure how this happened, the sender appears to be a UK domain. I have contacted my email provider and all the proper security measures have been taken and I have scrubbed all my computers using 3 different anti-virus packages. In any case, my emails always include a signature block with my information (see below) which sometimes includes my company information as well, so if you received one that did not include this information, you can safely assume it did not come from me. Amazing that we still do not have the tools to properly eliminate this type of issues.
