Outlook Scam EMail
Received an EMail from a known friend wanting to talk via EMail, so replied to EMail. Then rang them and they confirmed their contacts had been scammed. Subsequently realised I should have known as the To Address line was blank.
Can the scammer now access my Contacts? No link or attachment was opened.
No, as you didn't click on any malicious link or provided any credentials your account can't get compromised from just replying.

Please help me.
I got scammed by a "invite to a party" email and allowed the hacker to have my password.
I was quickly aware of what happened but 5 contacts of mine said they also got the part invite email.
Of course, I changed my password and a had a computer professional clean my laptop but I am perplexed as to why I can no longer receive an email from my tax accountant. Of course, the email is not in junk mail. Also, in my outlook I do not have any rules set up.
Does any have any ideas on what is going on?
