[NFB-Idaho] strange messages coming from my email

[Donald Winiecki]

What Alison is describing is a very common “phishing” attempt. This suggests that Dana’s e-mail account has been hijacked or hacked. If people respond to that attempt they will likely also have their e-mail account hacked. 

Dana, tell your tech support person that you think your E-mail account has been “spoofed” and people on your contact list are receiving this sort of “phishing” attempt.
