Set up a Simple “Hacker Detector” for Your Email

Justagigil085 discovers a dead simple way to find out if your email has been hacked:

Quick way to ensure your email hasn’t been hacked. Add a fake email address to your contacts because, if I’m not mistaken, spammers will just send it to everyone in your address book. When you get the “message not delivered” email, you know something is up.

Probably unnecessary if you have an older email account with an outdated contact list.
