If anyone received an email from me with the subject "Hot news" please do not click on the link in it or even open it.  Delete it immediately.  I hadn't looked at my email account for over a day and just found out this evening that my account had been hacked some time this morning.  The hacker had caused my account to send out a spam email to everyone on my contact list.  As I say, I didn't even have my account open when this happened, so you may already be in trouble.  I apologize if my account was a conduit for this scam.  I have just changed my password and suggest you do the same.  There may be a time delay between when you receive an offending email or are hacked and when your account sends out emails to your contacts, so hopefully you may have time to stop the spread of this.
