Windows 10: My outlook email was hacked from Croatia.

EssyD · Aug 15, 2024

I am afraid to use my outlook account or any account as you have my phone number and alternate email posted in the security section. How do I stay secure in Outlook, as anyone who hacks in can now have access to all my personal information?

Group Email In Outlook 2016? Need Help!

Hi guys,

I have a client with a problem in outlook 2016 with her not been able to do a group email. She said she could just click on the group button on version 2007 outlook and then (I guess) select the group of people you wish to send a email to. But in this new version she cant as the group button or selection is greyed out. I honestly have no clue as I don't use the program but was wondering if anyone on here has any idea?

I have uploaded a pic of a screen shot of her outlook 2016 with the greyed out group option.

If anyone has any clue or suggestions to give me to give to her that would be great *Smile

Thanks!

The screen shot looks like that's where she would CREATE a new group. What is on the "Send/Receive" tab?

After step 7, it tells you how to send to a group.

Hacked email

Hi

If a spammer is using a hacked/spoofed email account to send out emails, then all you do is send a bounceback to the original hacked account, not the hacker/Spammer "he does not include his email in the list". The hacker/Spammer does not know it has been bounced back and you continue to recieve emails from them. However, all that has happened is that genuine people who have been hacked and have sent out these mass emails recieved bounce back emails that you or they can do noting about. "Apart from the obvious alert to change passwords"

To be honest, there is no real way to fight back unless you have specialised hardware or an exchange account so that spam is auto filtered before it is sent on to you.

If you are using online emails such as outlook, you can add emails to the blocked user or domain list, but spammers change so regularly and they still have your email address, so you cannot keep up.

Until email providers spend some money and provide realtime protection in there servers, we can do very little.

However, what you state in your post "2. change all your email passwords" is a great solution but everyone person needs to change their passwords and complexity on a regular basis to minimise / prevent email account hacking, but what % of the population do you think does that on a regular basis? This is where the weak link lies, even if password duration policies are set, they are mostly simple to remember passwords because we have so many password in our heads these days that we need a hard drive installed to remeber them all.

This said though, if it is junk email from companies etc, then you can bounce them back but most of the send email accounts are not monitored for email returns. "Please do not reply to this email"

Thanks

Thank you for this very clear explanation. Unfortunately, I do not have the kind of specialized hardware or exchange account to do what you suggest.

I find the subject interesting and what you wrote has added to my knowledge on the matter.

Regards.
