Your email is sending spam to your contacts without you knowing
Someone has access to your email account and is sending spam. Change your password right now to a strong one you haven't used before. Then turn on two-factor authentication to block the attacker permanently.
If spam is being sent from your email address, someone else has access to your account. They got your password. Either from a data breach, phishing email, or weak password. The priority is to change your password immediately to lock them out, then secure the account with two-factor authentication so it can't happen again.
- ✓Have your email account login credentials ready — you'll need to change your password immediately
- ✓Have your phone nearby — you'll need it to set up two-factor authentication
- ✓Know which email provider you use (Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo) — security settings are in different places
