Email hacking improvements needed;

(1/3) > >>

Rick:
My Email address is "X";
But someone sent me an email to my "X" email address;
Yet it shows my "X" email address as [email protected]
Of course, [email protected] is not my email address at all

Seen this happening to frequently now;

What's going on here?

It might be that you were added as a BCC, or that it was forwarded to you, check the details in the full headers.

Rick:
use outllook2003;

Have all my email accounts under outlook so can use/read/reply in one place;
I noticed that some accounts seem to take a while to load the reply window while others do not...

it's a typical notice of being hacked...

How to determine if that email is hacked/monitored by some third party?

satrow:
You need to check the details from the full email headers:
