That's what they do right after they get access to your email account. They change your password so you can't get back in. The spammers anyway. They collect all of your contact's email addresses and add them to their list. It's all over the anti-virus forums if you want to read about it. And it's not just one provider getting hit lately...gmail, yahoo, hotmail, aol...you name it. It's not necessarily someone you personally know. Anyway, I felt fortunate that only 3 of my accounts were messed with since I have dozens of them and it would take forever to fix them all.
Good luck with it, bat.
