Getting more spam lately? I know mine has more than doubled since about the end of the month when this breach occured

This probably why

And you will probably have a few email apologies...

No increase for me. Scary stuff though.

I apologized publicly to all of the St. Louis Audio guys since my account was hacked. Everybody in my account received discounts on medical items. The most "special" was when I sent a lint to discounted Viagra to my 77 year old Mother.

I hate spammers.

Only a couple...i think promotional stuff. Not a big deal...i always try not to give my email on suspicious sites.

I have not noticed a higher amount of spam. I did get one phishing one and sent it to spam@uce.gov but those come along every now and then anyway.

I have a 14-year old Hotmail account. Talk about spam!

I do have it set to where my inbox only accepts e-mails from those I want it to. I do have to occasionally skim my bulk folder for e-mails that were sent to groups, etc.
