So What if the Whole World Knows I Watch Porn (red faced)

One night  a couple weeks ago I noticed my email alert on my phone was sending me mail failure messages in the middle of the night. Upon closer inspection it was telling me that  my message failed to reach some recipients. I had sent no messages so I was not concerned. A day later a friend emailed me to ask what was up with the message I had sent him???
I had sent him no message to my knowledge. I did some investigating and realized that my email had emailed EVERYONE on my contact list an email attempting to sell them Viagra and Cialis at a cheap rate online. I was horrified. Not only did it mail that to everyone and by everyone I mean teachers, principles, work contacts, the pastor etc, but it had shared everyone's email address with everyone else. I had no clue why or what to do about it so I did nothing.
A few days later I checked my work email and I had an email from my personal account. I opened it not thinking and guess what? It was a porn link. And guess what else apparently I had emailed everyone that porn link. I was horrified. I sent everyone an apology email explaining that I did not know why that happened but I definitely did not send out porn to the pastor. This happened maybe three times and then a friend told me I had a malware virus? I installed some protection and disabled my mail feature on my phone which is where I suspect it came from and as far as I know it has stopped. 
But OMG how freaking embarrassing is that? A techy person told me that can happen when you visit  a porn site. That a virus can attack your phone and do things like send out emails to attack other peoples stuff. He also told me that you do not get a porn virus unless you have been to a porn site and apparently everyone but me knew that. *Gulp*
I may or may not have checked out a porn site on my phone one evening. Why am I telling everyone? Because apparently everyone already knows! I'm going to go change my identity now. But before I go have plastic surgery I just wanted to warn all you PTA soccer moms that be careful what you do online because your secret is not safe and you could end up like me and the dirty lil secret can be exposed. I can literally hear the teachers in their staff meeting saying "no wonder Marlon is failing English, his mother's addicted to porn". Oh the shame!

  1. I just got another one of those from you in the last few days. (within 5) I just delete them because they look like a virus so I don't ever open them. But thanks for sharing about the porn. :-)

  2. I watch porn, all my friends watch porn, I'd like to think because there's so many of us the true deviants are the ones who don't watch. Anyway, it's probably safer to watch it on your computer where you have virus protection and you can delete your most recent browsing history (keep from small eyes!).

  3. I've had it where I googled something and ended up on a porn site.
    That's my story and I am sticking with it....

  4. I agree with the above. I've had sites "trick" me into going to a porn site. Though I imagine most people have taken a peek on purpose too. ;)

  5. I had the same thing happen minus the porn....hummmm I have no idea how they hacked my e-mail but I shut everything down and started over. That was information you probably could have used BEFORE you told everyone about the porn. So I'll let you know, I've been to some less than desirable sites...

  6. I'm just laughing at how some of you (cough cough) accidently stumbled up on porn. ;)
