Spam emails purporting to come from people I know, but with the wrong email addresses
Over the past two days I've gotten two spam emails whose From: lines contained the names of people I know, but with totally incorrect email addresses. Both contacts are Facebook friends of mine, but I've only conversed via email with one of them.
Furthermore, neither person is actually in my email contact list. I'm using Apple's Mail 6.3 on OS X 10.8.3.
My question is: whose account got compromised here? I'm wondering if it's my own, since the one purported sender doesn't even have my email address (that I'm aware of). And for that same reason, I'm wondering if the compromised account is my Facebook one rather than my email one.
