• Spams appears when a user put his email address at some website just because they want to win cash/car/vacation. Did anyone ever read their privacy policy providing that they had one. Those are the fine prints we ignore as we happily press the "Submit" button. Some of those policy statements will say nasty things that they can do with your email address, like selling it to a third party company that distribute spams. Of course, they will word it so that you can't tell what in the world they are talking about. People have no sense of security while surfing on internet. Randomly giving out email address is like saying "Here you go, this is where I lived" and typing in your password on a website is like giving it the key to your house.
  
  From what I know, the password hijacking was in the form of links send through messengers and when a person clicks on the link, it takes them to a website which appeared like facebook friend's picture album and asks for password for entry. Upon entry, there was nothing. My friend was smart enough to notice it was a password collecting website and had to change all his password to everything he remembers.
