by the sounds of it and considering what's been happening lately re: hacked websites the perps had your email address and password and possibly a username to cause unrest with... gleaned via another website holding your data which was hacked (gaming sites with many members are popular targets) they use the data some months later for spamming or just for cash-sale... or you had a key-logger installed on your home machine, if you got an email recently from a mainstream site saying 'sorry we were hacked, change your password' then that's the cause...
It sounds like just malevolence by an individual who may not have known you with those two vitals bits of information, email address and password... you might of heard in the news of some popular websites being attacked, well it's basically criminals going for mass data-collection for use a year later... data is king on the internet, your monitored by authority and hacked by the criminals with borrowed knowledge...
i wish you well in future endeavors.
