Handling email threats
If your account is behaving out of your control, then your email account may be hacked/compromised, and you must take immediate action/ reset your email password.
Reset your email and password
If you've lost access to your account, change your password/ contact the email provider directly to prove who you are and ask for a password reset. Choose a new password that is unique and different from your old one. Make sure it does not contain strings of repeated characters or numbers. Stay away from passwords that are obviously tied to your name, birthday or similar personal stats since hackers can easily find this information and use it in their first attempts to access your account.
Enable 2 factor authentication (password and SMS to the phone or mobile authentication code)
Running an end-to-end antivirus scan is also good to start with. The sooner you run an antivirus scan, the better. It's important to make sure you're clean before you change any other sensitive information to avoid restarting the cycle.
