from my yahoo address.

It appears I was hacked overnight (here) as I received a number of returned emails .

So was wondering what the hacker sent out......

That happened to me too, although just once so far. Try just changing your password, and not staying logged in anymore. Worked for me.

Are you sure your account was actually hacked? Or is someone just spoofing your email address? If someone is spoofing you, there's not much you can do but wait for the wave to pass.

Agree with Wendell. If all of the people in your address book get spam from your address, then somebody got into your account.

But if you get 143 "can't deliver" messages from all over the world and your friends didn't get anything from you, then they just picked your email address off some list and used it as the return address, so it wouldn't send all that junk to them. This problem is self-correcting in a few days because they will probably use somebody else next time.

I didn't get one from you.
But I just seconds ago got the exact same one from Deral.

Nothing got caught on my antivirus and nothing found with Spybot but I'm going to run Maleware Bytes after the spybot is done. I got some returned e-mails that I had not sent so I think maybe spoofing is the culprit.

There is a setting in FB to hide your e-mail from anyone but you. I did have it set for friends only but maybe one of them got hacked and it allowed mine to be mined by some hacker sort of program.

Stephen. The only Snavely on my list is my attorney friend from FB. Hmmm.

The plot thickens.
