Receiving spam from "here"!
«

I just received a spam mail sent to the email address I registered on my profile here on this forum. The email address is unique to this use, hence why I know the spam originated "from here".
As far as I know the only way this could happen is:
1. The owners of the forum is selling email addresses - I sure do HOPE that isn't the case...
2. The server is infected with some kind of virus/trojan/etc. that harvested the email address.
3. A forum-administrators PC is infected with some kind of virus/trojan/etc. and he/she has viewed my profile, or however this forum works. Since my email address is hidden to normal users.
4. ?
PS. I have numerous unique email addresses, and none of the others are receiving this type of spam, so I'm pretty much 100% the source of the leak is not me nor my ISPs mailserver.

Ok, good I guess. At least you know what the problem was and that it has been fixed. Too bad for the users that had their email addresses harvested. :-(
