Worm or email acct hacked?

I just discovered 15 email messages in my Sent mailbox that I didn't send. Each message is addressed to 3 different contacts from my Address Book, and each is a spammy 'make money online' type of message with a link. Each one is different but they were all sent on the same date (May 18). I have an iMac with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53), and am using an username@me.com email address with an iCloud mailbox that syncs to my iPhone 4S. There haven't been anymore mystery messages since May 18th.

Does this sound like a worm or is it more likely that my me.com email account has been hacked?

Any advice on what I can do to prevent this from happening again?

I appreciate any advice/suggestions you can share. 😀

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Hello, tough to tell, they may even be spoofed, even the Date, in Mail view the long Headers, look for IPs, like Received :from & Recieved: by...

Still, to be safe change your MobileMe password.
