Hacked off

[peggy]

My brother has phoned to say he has received a suspect email from me. I only use my phone or kindle and I really don't know what to do next?

Change your email password.

Ok, have done that. Will that be it? It terrifies me!!

if you receive any emails with the ending @dr.com

Delete and report. these are a scam.

as said, change of email password needed, and do a scan with malwarebytes free trial if you don't have it.
hope other people on your list have the sense not to click on the link it sent them. if they did, forward the above info on. other than that, don't worry.

Have text family and friends and warned them. Thanks everyone

Whilst I would never recommend Symantec for anything, this article on easily guessed passwords it is best to avoid is well worth a look at.
