I had one come in at 1:30 A.M Monday morning, I will definitely be changing all passwords, and most likely build a few new email address’s for specific uses, thanks @SessionDrummer, for some great advice. By the way I also placed a few orders between Thanksgiving and New years.

Oh geez, how am I supposed to sift through that? Guess I’ll just have to look for names I don’t recognize. Thx again for the info.

I’m not sure if it hides it, but I think I have checked the "view raw message. And script and the bulk of the email.

I was just logged in to RS and I couldn’t find where to change my password. Only an edit for physical address.
ETA: Nevermind. I see that you have to choose forgot password in order to reset.

I have an account there but don’t know why it won’t let you change the password?

I just did what @Silhouette did and chose “forgot” password. It seemed like the only option.

Depending oh how you open it, or with what you open it, you can alert the spammers (and so every spammer in the world) that they have a valid email address.
Often spam email has url’s in them that are used to say load a graphic and have additional information burred in them. eg: ht t ps : / / thisurl.company/loadthisgif/2237483920/graphic.gif The website is only interested in the number and uses it to validate against its internal list of email addresses and then returns a gif so the email looks fine (url’s don’t need to be valid, its down to the server to follow rules - or not as in this case).
If you use a mail client on your pc, you can set it to only show emails as text only… so no graphics/html get rendered so no url’s get triggered in the process of loading the email to show. I think, but don’t quote me on this, that hotmail doesn’t try to render or follow any url’s if the email is in the spam folder. Other on-line accounts may do different things/have different options. That is why I always use a linux email client to download emails even if they are on-line accounts (such as hotmail) and only show them as “text only”. The only downside is I have to use the web-version every couple of weeks to see what is in the spam folder as anything in there doesn’t get downloaded.
Obviously replying to an email in any shape or form, or clicking on the “click here to stop further emails” button, or following the instructions “reply with ‘stop’ to stop all emails” does nothing but alert the spammers that they have got a valid email account. Only genuine emails from sites you’ve genuinely signed up to will de-register you if you reply/click/do something.

Hey everyone, just an update. We’re currently awaiting Shopify’s confirmation regarding the situation, but ours and Shopify’s educated guess seems to be that an app that has access to our,
Customer Names
Customer Emails
was somehow linked to a breach that also included that data from our store. This is still not confirmed, but is expected to be soon. For those still curious, all of our customers payment information is kept in an entirely separate encrypted location and is safe. We appreciate your understanding and hope to check back soon. We’ll have confirmed source of these spam emails once and for all!
Thank you everyone for your patience!
