    Love these threads, 'something is wrong', 'I must have the CEO email' etc etc.

    Don't use their email service. Simples. And don't get spoofed/ 'hacked'. If your email is so important get a Google Suite account (you do have to pay for it).

    TalkTalk have owned up to being hacked in the past, one reason why your email account should be independent of your supplier. You can have as many gmail accounts as you need, completely free, and if you wish you can manage them on your PC with Mozilla Thunderbird.

    Could well be your PC that has been hacked and sending out multiple spam emails .
    Hence suspicious activity .
