Background info
My phone is Samsung s3
Rom is cyanonegmod( i installed it using the tool on their website)
My skill level a very low
The only apps im running are from google play store
I think i have a bot on my cellphone. Earlier today I was looking for an email that had room reservation information from the silver legacy hotel. I have my exchange email linked to my phone so i used the search function in the email app to search for the word silver. The reservation was in the results list. But there where also bunch of outgoing emails that i never sent. The emails looked like spam, i opened one but didn't click on the link. The email had been sent to me from me according to the email, but these emails don't show up in my inbox or sent mail folder. These emails don't show up on any of my computers that have the my exchange email account synced to them. I think there is some sort bot running on my phone. I tried searching using google and the xda forum search function but i couldnt find anything to help me. Is there anyway to remove the bot with out resetting my phone? I've never heard of this happening, but i figured it would only be a matter time before someone figured out how to get bots on cellphones.
Hi there, XDA Assist is mainly for navigational guidance within XDA. Your question is more general and would be appropriate in the General Q&A section. I have asked a moderator to move it for you. Good luck!
I would say they are in your spam folder, a lot of spam email spoofs the sender as the receiver email to get the person to open it. Check your spam folder and I bet they are in there.
I checked the spam folder, the emails weren't there.
Hi,
I partly can logon to XDA, but I guess my account is blocked, because certain parts of its functionality does not work.
I don't have that email address no more, so I don't know what XDA is sending to me, and I can't access the details page to change my email address.
can anyone please tell me why the account is blocked, why I can still log on, and how to update the email address to one I am using?
thanks
jpsollie

Whatsapp is becoming really a privacy concern ..
Is any of you guys is using their other brands ; like instagram, FB Messenger. . Etc?
Are you blocking them from accessing private data?
Are you using any modded apps that they don't like?
I don't know but I think that they are trying to link everything they own together .. so if you block any of it in away that the info they get is not identical , they block you, and force you to supply the info they failed to collect from your devices ..

Hi,
Your WhatsApp account has been banned because your activity on WhatsApp is in violation of our Terms of Service.
We cannot comment on the individual reasons that have led to your account ban. However, the following actions provide examples of activity that will result in an account becoming banned:
Sending ads or any other form of commercial solicitation.
Sending spam or unsolicited messages.
Submitting content (in status, profile pictures or messages) that is in violation of our terms of service such as unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive or any other inappropriate material.
Being annoying to other users.
Being a repeat infringer.
Using an automated system or an unauthorized / unofficial application to send messages through WhatsApp.
a keylogger in rom that sends all my user names and passwords back to a central server? The uncertainty around this question means that using a rooted phone for e-mail (given the role of e-mail accounts in password recovery for online bank/brokerage accounts), or indeed, any input involving user ids and passwords, is very iffy.
