I don't see anything that would cause this. There are a few unknowns. Do you use Airset?

The IP address doesn't show up as a Phish site. At least not yet. The site is from China and information is lacking. Usually they will use a proxy so this doesn't say much. Meaning the true IP address is masked even the when the E-Mail headers are sorted out.

It could be that the person obtained info. from another E-Mail that was sent and opened, there by allowing some kind f virus that read the contacts list in the E-Mail account.

I would change the passwords and change the setting in the account to not download all the content when viewing E-Mail. I use an E-mail client called Thunderbird and have phish security installed through the use of addons. In web based E-Mail I use FireFox with an addon on called NoScript.

Has this happened more than once?

Use this to generate a good password
