Bill,
This is a constant problem when anyone uses "webmail".
Since all your email information is located on the web server, all one
has to do to get all your information is to crack your password. Now
they have all your contacts, trash, etc. at their disposal.
Try to avoid "servers" that store your information. This includes clouds
and those services that back up your files.
If you want to back up your important files, go and get a USB terabyte
disc. Install some auto backup SW and you are safe not only from
scammers but the G O V T.
Also use a POP/SMPT based email such as Thunderbird. Works on Windows as
well as Linux.
And best of all, complicated passwords are a must.
