A server at any of the hops along the way could have been compromised. You can't be certain that it was the recipient.

Yes plugging cables in and helping people connect to wifi are what admins do. That's little knowledge helpdesk level of work.

Pretty broad stoke to paint don't ya think? I guess maintaining over 1000 zero clients in a large ESXi system on a BGP network, across multiple data centers with SAN redundancy and mirroring on either side is help desk level. I work with a few people like you, since they have the work 'Engineer' in their title they think their crap don't stink.

OP, as suggested earlier in the forum, get yourself a gmail account and use the suffix tags on the address. It would make it way easier to find out is passing out your info. I have a dedicated email that I use for anything outside of normal trusted sites.

Why would we disparage anyone's job, we all started somewhere!

as a systems and network architect, I'm not above helping any of my organizations' users with any issue, even the simple "help desk tech" level issues. I don't do it very often at my level anymore, but I do what whatever it takes.
