This is not related to virus send trough email, than collecting emails posted online.

The email diversion is happening at the server level, some officials are very greedy and corrupt. So when a small business owners works hard to generate leads and orders for his or her business, giving the fake excuse of national security they are stealing the leads which they resell for $4 each or more.

Email grabber cannot scrap a picture as a hacker and spammer use it for email collection means write the image with [email protected] with photoshop and upload it Instead of manual writing.

First of all disable any contact form, I have seen that people abuse contact form and try that people to contact you do the system of create ticket and must be registered instead of placing email or even contact form this is first advice.

Disabling contact form is good but remember there are potential clients you might be missing by doing that. I usually employ the help of anti spam bots to rid spams and they're doing good.

Use your custom email and use an email client like Thunderbird. Use a strong password.
