I cannot access my emails or anyone to help me. I got an Amazon gift card phishing link, clicked on it and my entire address book hacked. Please help. Major security risk. Changed my password but no emails coming through.
@Su3 What device(s) have been compromised, i.e. the device that you opened the email on and then clicked on the link? PC/laptop? Phone?
If on a Windows PC, have you run a malware/virus check to make sure your system isn’t infected with malware or any other virus.
Have you tried to open your email service on a completely separate device to the one you opened the infected email on using the new password?
I realise it’s after the horse has bolted, but the Amazon gift card scam emails have been doing the rounds for years. Never click on a link on any email unless you know it’s from a trusted source and that you have at least clicked on the email header address to determine its legitimacy.
You are not receiving emails because the scammer is forwarding them to their address.
Remove any forwarding and rules that have been setup in webmail.
