Contact list hack?
Contact list hack? People from my contact list received an email from 'me' to the 'click here to get rich type. Email is not of me, but a number of email addresses @terra.com.br. Only small groups of contacts both seem to be addressed.
My email provider is @tpg.com.au and I use Thunderbird on my mac and the application of Apple Contacts for addresses.
My contact list has been hacked, and what should I do?
Your contact list could have been hacked is via iCloud (if use you it). Change your iCloud password, just in case. Do the same with your tpg account.
Another possibility is that at some point you sent mail to many people on your contacts list. In this case, the leak could be any of them.

My email account has been hacked. What can I do to stop the unathorized email going to my contact list?
original title: hacked e-mail accountIf the hacker has your address list now I'm afraid there is absolutely nothing you can do.
If it is using your real address list (as opposed to having downloaded/imported) then change your password should do, but unless this intruder is a fool, he or she has already copied your list of contacts.
Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

my contact list has been hacked and disappeared completely, what do I do?

A few hours later I started to receive messages undelivered Damon of the people on my contact list, but I had not sent all recent messages. He became a snowstorm of mail returned with comments indicating that a file 'drop zone .pdf' could not be opened.
When I went to my contact list to meet some of the shippers, I found that my list of contacts it had been cleaned up with only my name remaining. This list was perhaps 200 + names and information. I've never had a security problem with apple products and I am a user since the 1980s.
I share an Internet connection with my other significant and it has a windows 10 laptop PC. I did a complete antivirus on his device scan and found three variations of a Trojan which were immediately eliminated. I'm assuming that one of the virus/Trojan horse the culprit but it is possible t it completely deleted (not copied) my entire contact list and if so, is there a way to restore the original information?

I seem to have gotten infected with a virus that will address to my contacts list hotmail together with false advertising. However when I connect to hotmail from another computer not infected at a different location, the spamming of my hotmail contacts re - occurred which seems to suggest the virus got on the hotmail server. Everyone knows this. I ran AVG etc. on the original computer, but no virus found.
Hello
Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.
It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and

I can't receive e-mail from addresses that are not already in my contacts list, for example the library. My account has been hacked recently, and I have informed Windows CE. I then installed Avast security. Since only known e-mail senders spend their emails. Help, please.
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
It seems that Avast is blocking messages from anyone not in your contacts list (much too tight fixed). Disable the function of checking email and see if that solves the problem. If so, run it without the option of e-mail enabled - it does not really help as long as you take normal precautions (as not to open attachments from people you don't know / trust and things like that). If you don't know how to disable this feature, contact technical support Avast (I do not use the product so I don't know how, but it's probably under Options or something like that). If this does not work, try to go to Microsoft Security Essentialshttp://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html where I know that this problem is not happen and see if that solved the problem.
I hope this helps.

iPad2 is auto added to my contacts list
iPad 2
iOS 9.3.5
My iPad has/is adding contacts to my contact list. If the person is already in my list, the list will change to everything which (I) the person has as their contact name. If the email had remained under adverse or Spam, it gets listed below under the heading of #.
As you can see, I do not use the family name to keep my list as 1st of the name. The lower part shows the unknown lists. I assume these are emails spam since I deleted 2 today.
I studied the options in the settings for that matter and found nothing. I am having trouble with iCloud for something totally different, but all have save / update / everything that's out there. [FYI, my problem w / iCloud is my deletion of a record fm it & not read the warning that the file would get dumped fm my machine.] [I'm trying to maybe hopefully retrieve].
Suggestions? Please?
You use the iOS Mail application?

I lost my contact list.how do
I need help for my return address/contacts
The following article can help you
http://KB.mozillazine.org/Moving_address_books_between_profilesI had a similar situation where an old laptop died and with him went my address book, but it was not bad as I first feared because your contact details are also in the history of the sent and received emails, and as I've been using IMAP I had the history back as soon as I installed Thunderbird on the new laptop.
It was a bit of a pain at first, but Thunderbird soon built again to the top of your contact list.

Hello
My laptop almost 3 year, shows signs of age and I have to send it to the manufacturers to replace a keyboard and the reader of cd/dvc. I'll have to save all my pictures and documents on a portable player so I can copy them to the repairedcomputer once it is returned to me. I also have a load of saved bookmarks which I want to keep and I think that it is also possible. My biggest problem is I use Thunderbird as a filing system for all important emails and keep my email contacts list and I wish I could copy them all when I clear my computer so I can copy them on my laptop newly repaired.
For most of you, this task is as simple as copying my photos or documents, but I get very confused with profiles etc in Mozilla. I wish it were as easy as a file, copy of emails to... but not yet. I would appreciate help on this.
Crush the Thunderbird profile folder ends the new profile. So, you have just an old.
