I've got some type of Virus on my PC or something. I just got an email prompting me to change my Mojang account password and did. Minutes later, another one. Seconds after, another one claiming a change in my account email address for I could even read the email.
Thankfully, Mojang sends a 'Did you mean to do this?' email and has an immediate dispute option that I quickly hit and it switched it back to mine.
I had a similar issue with Playstation Now, only I never got any emails except one saying my email had been changed without prior notice but I figured that was due to Sony's amazing abilities of someone saying 'I don't remember my password for that email'
Update: Perhaps they only had access to my email. After they had somehow changed my email, I assumed it was due to them having my primary email ready so I changed the password(Which does a force sign out until they get the password again.) Just received ANOTHER Mojang request but so far no password/email change. If I'm keylogged, I am scared to change my password on my PC in case they are watching..
Update 2: Using Anti-Malyware bytes. It found a couple trainers claiming them to be unsafe. I trust site, though, as he has thousands of users on his forum(Mr. AntiFun) but you never know. Deleted. AdWareCleaner found 16 threats from what I found to be Slim Drivers which I've been using for over a year. SuperANTISpyware has found 154 Adware.Tracking Cookies (?!?!??!)

Before you continue to change your password, open Task Manager and click on the processes tab.
If there's any weird or skeptical processes running that you aren't familiar with or that look new/that you've never seen before, end those processes.
If you want you can send a screenshot here of the process list and I'll take a look at it.
Alternatively, I'd also suggest downloading a program called SpyShelter.
You can get a free/basic version of the software that simply finds keyloggers in your system,
or you can get a premium version that gives you a free 14 day trial which should be plenty enough time to clear your PC of the virus at hand.
You can find the a direct link to SpyShelter [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .
Good luck and let me know how it goes!

It could also be something quite simple.
You could have used your email to previous sign up to a website which has then had its data stolen, The email used to sign up is now online for people to see, Along with the password you used to sign up to that website.
I'm not saying you used the same password as your email to sign up to this certain website (it could be multiple sites). Try changing your email password along with any other passwords that are the same.
If you know this isn't the case I suggest using a program called "rKill", Then running several anti virus/malware programs.
