Why is my email account sending out spam emails?

< 1 min read

It’s important to take action when spam emails start appearing in your inbox. Here are recommended steps to take:


  1. Change your email password: Create a unique new password that contains a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and even special characters.

  2. Check for malicious software or links in emails sent from your account: Review the emails that were sent from your account. If any have suspicious attachments or links, delete the emails and run a thorough virus scan on your device.

  3. Update to the latest version of your email application: Ensure the software you use to access your email is up-to-date and patched with the most recent security updates.

  4. Monitor the security of your device: Take the appropriate steps to secure your device and email account. Install antivirus and anti malware software and configure firewall settings to protect against malicious attacks.

  5. Check all email accounts associated with your device: Make sure each and every one of your accounts is secured and making use of strong passwords.
