Many users have reported receiving unsolicited email (SPAM) over the holiday break that appeared to come from their own UF email address leading many to believe that their UF account had been compromised and was being used to generate these messages. Unfortunately, it's very easy to forge the 'From' address in an email header and is a common tactic of those who send spam. This is done by the spammers in an effort to divert attention away from themselves and the original source of the spam.
