That would be my guess too. I’ve had similar emails from friends that just said Something like “hey you need to take a look at this,” and then there was a link to click. Of course my friend didn’t really send it to me but turns out his computer had been infected with malware.

There's about 4 that I get regularly - my former minister, a retired colleague, my cousin's wife and one more that have all benn hacked at various times.
