Windows 10: I got a text saying the security info for my email is being changed to another email. Is...

There were no links and everything seems normal and not suspicious. I'm not sure what to do next.

How to send an email that a phone receives as a text?

At my office, we want to have the ability to communicate with our electricians who are fairly low tech people. They don't check emails often, but text messaging would work fine for our need. I know with Verizon and Sprint you can using the text messaging app on the phone to text an email, and then if you reply to say L: 9995724770@VTEXT.COM that email will go to the phone as a text message.

Short of having all the electricians text an email to get these addresses, is there an easier way to go about this? I've never really dealt with mass texting before. Is say a Droid phone capable of sending a text to 40 people?

 

Hacked: Change security info

I followed the steps and thats how I managed to reset the password on him/her, but when I go to account setting to remove their email it says:

"You can't access this site right now

This site requires a security code to sign in. When your security info updates on 1/3/2019 you will be able to access this site. You can still access sites such as Outlook and Skype that don't require a security code.

On 12/4/2018 you requested that your security info be replaced.

Current security info

Alternate email: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** "

That alternate email is also the hackers, so I cannot cancel the security change. When I try, it asks to send an email code to it.

Thanks a ton btw for the quick reply, I'm worrying my butt off every moment haha.
