Has the ihug email system been hacked ?

https://community.vodafone.co.nz/t5/My-Vodafone-more/email-ihug/m-p/169494

This looks exactly like whats happended to one of my customers. Lots of bouncebacks , laptop is clean (or an undectable virus). no obvious sign of spam email beinmg sent from laptop.
I now have another customer, ihug/voda just informed them their a/c has been spamming.
About to check that one soon, I'll bet its also clean

Before this thread gets out of hand with misinformation:

1. Customer has a malware script on their machine which has hijacked their email client
2. Due to the large number of messages to invalid addresses, the account is disabled to prevent logins. Yes, we do actually monitor our SMTP server for these things and prevent offending accounts from running rampant.
3. This is not a Vodafone issue, merely a lack of proper security on the customer's end. The problem goes away when the customer gets their PC sorted.
4. In no way related to the Yahoo issue, at all.
