What I've seen so far is a new wave of spam from Canada that spoofs the recipient's email address. Your TalkTalk Mail address has got into the hands of spammers so inevitably a whole range of techniques are used, including spoofing, to get their spam into your mailbox. Details below for Compromised versus Spoofed email accounts. Please report to TalkTalk Security by forwarding to phishing@talktalk.co.uk
Check that your webmail access is working ok for send and receive. If you don't see any suspicious activity in your Sent folder or Trash folder then your mailbox is probably secure. If in doubt or if your password is weak or unchanged for a long time then it's best to upgrade the password.
The Reset password now button in the help article Changing your email password will take you to password reset and recovery.
If you have set up password recovery options, in advance, that you recognise from the *****hints, then you can send your alternate email address a link or your mobile a 6-digit code to authorise a password reset.
