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.

I have never sent you an email with a link, Icy. 
So don't open it.
Was it from me or the Post?

Icy North Posted Dec 28, 2016
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?
Spam, spam, spam, spam...
Icy North Posted Dec 28, 2016
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.

Thanks! Did that.
Yeah, that was my thought, too.

Oh, here's a link you CAN use, if you haven't seen it already. It's the Guardian's quizlet on Fake News:

I got 5/8.
