Hi Folks, I use Thunderbird to read and send my Gmail. I have one contact in my address book that I haven't used or been in contact with me by email for at least 1 year.
A few days ago I got a message in the spam folder using the correct name but different address of one of them.
I have not had a pc infection for ages and dont share contacts with anyone.
How did the spammer get the correct name and manage to send it to me????

Re: Contacts Security
Possibly they have you in their address book, and they have been compromised. Or a third party has both of you
