Email Spam

I don't get much spam... normally. Some arrives to email addresses I have forwarders to but don't really use like info at arius.com or support at ari us.com. I also create new email addresses for every web site I give an ema il address to for signing up to something or asking for information. Lets me know who shared my email address when I start getting spam.

Recently I've been getting spam, the totally junky kind, to a few addresses that should not have been shared. One is esp.mag at arius.com which has b een receiving a LOT. That's an old trade magazine, so maybe it ended up on a mail list for electronics vendors and found it's way to spammers. Anoth er is advanceautoparts.com at arius.com... well, I guess I won't be dealing with them anymore, and... givelife.org at arius.com! Holy crap! The Red Cross is selling my email address???

These addresses are not email accounts, they are just forwards. So no matt er how many emails I get from people who claim to have cracked my email acc ount and are spying on me through my web cam, it ain't true.

I'm wondering just how these email addresses are abruptly getting leaked. Any chance they've found a way to access my web hosting account? There's n o sign of any activity or problems.

Odd...
