Emails being sent from my cox account

I have been receiving emails 'mail administrator' saying I sent emails to an invalid email account.  These emails are spam I can tell because they have "RE" as the subject and and bad link in the body of the email.  These are only in my sent folder on my cox.net account when I log on to cox.net.  Not in the sent folder on my computer or my phone.  Does this mean someone has hacked into my Cox account?

Sounds like it. Reset your password ASAP.

I changed my password. Now how do I stop the emails? Will changing the password stop them or do I need to change my primary user name?

If you reset the password and they are still sending them, that might mean they are sending them from within Cox network. Contact Cox's security team at abuse@cox.net. and forward them the emails being sent (along with headers/source) along with some background.  For more info see here.
