Dodgy phishing
My wife's PC has been receiving emails In which her password for some webshop accounts is named plus an attached PDF file.
Accounts are getting new passwords and those mails are immediately deleted without being opened.
Anyone else seen this?

Re: Dodgy phishing
I suggest checking your email accounts against known breach lists to confirm compromise. It should also go without saying that one should never open an attachment from an unknown party.

Re: Dodgy phishing
If any of the passwords are current, change them immediately. I've had a few with outdated passwords in, so somebody has obviously bought a list on the dark web from a site that was hacked some time ago. I now use LastPass which generates, saves, and allows you to organise, new, complex, passwords.

You can check to see if you've been "pwned" (Check if you have an account that has been compromised in a data breach) by entering your email address here...

Second the LastPass suggestion. I use it daily; superb.

Re: Dodgy phishing
I've just found AOS is being blocked by Chrome / Open DNS due to a phishing threat (and it won't let me override it)

Re: Dodgy phishing
I've had something similar from a contact who quotes a password of mine (one I've associated with fairly low impact sites like fountain pens forums) then tells me they have footage of me 'watching' pornographic material, captured along with the offending material itself, and all my contacts to whom they intend to circulate this 'video nasty' if I don't pay up. Poor English, very low security password and the fact my PC doesn't have a webcam - as well as the fact my porn viewing days are pretty much consigned to the dustbin of history - led me to conclude this was a scam. Bless 'em for trying though.
