New trends in malware and security breaches include using personal email address books and sending email from your account, to someone you know. Typically the email may only include one sentence, if anything, an attached link to a website, sometimes with a leading sentences like:
"Check out our recent vacation pictures..."
"The funniest video I have seen in a long time..."
"I captured a picture of you naked"
"Sign up to get a free iPad"
"Your account has been deducted"
"UPS delivery"
"Important Intuit account information"
"IRS fraud notice"
It is the best policy to simply DELETE the suspicious email and NEVER click on the link.
