I received an email from a company I've bought things from before yesterday, the odd thing was it seemed to be just a copy of an order confirmation email from Amazon. Thought it was odd but ignored it. But over the day I got about 20 more, I didn't open them but they all look like real emails and appear to have the person's actual email signature attached.
The first one I did look at, all the links appeared genuine no spoof amazon.scam-you.co.uk or anything.
I messaged the guy - it's basically a 1-man thing selling art from his studio as I didn't want to email - and he's looking into it, no reason to think he's up to anything personally.
The obvious conclusion is he's been hacked somehow but I can't see any reason an attacker would forward his everyday emails to a random person from his contact list.
Anyone know anything about this sort of stuff?
