VM email database been hacked again?
Anyone else seen an upsurge in spam over the last week? I have, and several have been to an address that's supposedly only known to me and VM!
Jail is too good for these guys. Grrrrr!

Dictionary attack, or possibly your PC is vulnerable and your email accounts have been key stroked.

And stupid bloody poems going to 3 of the 4 VM email accounts we have on our machine, the only one that doesnt get them is the one we use for ebay.

What brought this to my attention was one a few days ago that had 3 addresses in the To: list - all of them mine! One of these I had long forgotten about and hadn't been accessing for months since a Windows reinstall. To me that's too much of a coincidence for them not to have been sourced from one place. And, unless these spammers are happy to sit on an address for months, it's not here.

Re: VM email database been hacked again?
I've also been receiving more SPAM than over the last week, but still only 5 - 6/day. But at least I'm not back up to the 130/day I was getting on the same NTL email account a couple of years ago!!!
