I had that happen several years ago. It was before I adopted more secure password policies... lots of shared passwords. Someone logged into my Best Buy account, changed the e-mail address, changed the password, bought a bunch of shit on my Best Buy credit card. I think 7 brand new iPad Airs. Well, before, during, and after this process I got flooded with a bunch of legitimate newsletter subscriptions. Because they were legitimate, they all made it through the filters. I also then had to manually unsubscribe from all of them.

And somehow he is thinking this is his ISPs fault. I have heard lots of email problems through the years, but suddenly 4000 emails in one day is a new one, especially if they all passed the spam filter. And as far as his Best Buy credit card which he says he hasn’t used in 2 years and isn’t on his computer, all I can say is who has a Best Buy credit card?
