Here's a puzzle that I hope the IT gurus can shed some light on.
I got a scam/phishing email as part of a small group (four) recipients- all in the To: field. Let's call them Sue, Sheila and Vicky
The From field is Jan <[email protected] and the content was signed Jan
Now here's the thing... I know and have emailed Jan (my sister). I don't know Ron, Sue or Sheila. It's possible I may have sent an email to Vicky several years ago.
Ron, Sue, Sheila and Vicky are all in Jan's circle but not in Ron's.
Therefore who's computers contact list has been compromised to send out this email?
My sister swears blind that she is running the latest version of Avast.
Or is there not enough information to say who? I can PM or email the long header if necessary but, for obvious reasons, don't want to stick the addresses out in cyberspace.
TIA
