I don't think you have any security issues on your iPad. Rather, it sounds like your email account was hacked or spoofed. Change your passwords on all your email accounts, and make sure that they are long and complex passwords. You should be fine after that.

Agreed: change your passwords immediately just in case your account was breached.

But it could have nothing to do with your account. Infected computers (almost always Windows machines) send out tons if spam email with "from" information cribbed from the victim's contacts list. Do this might just mean that someone you know has an infected PC.

Safest to change your password straightaway.
