How do the Spammers do this ... so I can prevent it ?
A couple times this has happened to me: I send/receive Email with someone I know well ... then 2 or 3 days later their Email address is being used by Spammers. See below. Haven't emailed this lady in years ... then all of a sudden, after an Email exchange with her, the Spammers have her address.
THE QUESTION: Do you think I have a vulnerability ... or is it more likely on their side ?
