    Every now and again someone or something, somehow hacks or spoofs my Moms email and sends spam to all her contacts. The emails look like this:

      I'm impressed with the results http://insideoutspam.com/info.html 
    Enjoy it!
    
    That's a more clean spam that I've received. She has an AOL email. I don't know how good their authentication is, but the only thing I could think to do was to tell her to run her a/v software and make sure her port settings are set to encrypted.
