Hello there, whilst I never really use Forums, I'm in need of advice as I've feeling very jumpy over a certain 'Spam' related event.
Spam is something unfortunately I'm no stranger to, racking up something like 20 spam mails a day in my Spam folder.
As of the last few months I'd been recieving spam from 'myself'. Right down to my e-mail address. But I was directed to a post here, and my mind was put at ease.
However, lately a certain e-mail has been getting past my spam filter, using my address still, I found a common word in this recurring e-mail, and quickly updated my filter.
Now what has got me quite scared is, a few days after changing my filter, I got the same e-mail, with a Subject 'haha glad u figured out' and they changed that same word I had noticed. It bypassed my filter and went straight into my inbox, just as the e-mails before were.
How do they know this? Do I have some security breach on my hands and I may infact, have somehow lost my Passwords to this Spammer? Or is there something I'm missing here?
I use the Inbox.com in-browser client, so I'm not entirely sure how to find the 'real sender's address'.
A bit of additional info, when this problem first came up, I contacted Inbox.com support, as to if my Inbox had been accessed by an IP other than my own, and they told me they couldn't tell me. Helpful eh?
