Hi Dmitri,

I just discovered an e-mail purporting to be from you in my junk folder. It contains a link which will remain unclicked pending your confirmation.

Supposedly from you, but then I don't have your email address. I won't type the one they used here, but the text of the e-mail was:

hi Icy


(suspicious link)

I couldn't find an email sent to you recently in either account, sorry.

As a professional, do you have any advice other than changing the passwords?

Change similar passwords you use on other sites.

I'm not convinced they breached your account. It's easy to make an e-mail appear it's come from another account.

I got 5/8.
