LTspice E-mail Address List Hacked?

Question

I don't know if the LTspice List has been hacked but I'm suddenly barraged with spam, like ~100 E-mails per day... sent to an address I use only for LTspice. So I changed my address. (Easy for me, I maintain ~200 different E-mail addresses just to cope with such situations :-)

(All junk sent from googlegroups... just what you'd expect :-) ...Jim Thompson

What a nuisance. Maybe it's the gov't trying to arousepublic outcry so they will be 'asked' to police the 'net.:)

Actually I think it's someone who lurks on these newsgroups.  Everytime I really annoy someone here I get a rash of spam.  But, withmultiple E-mail addresses (I have ~200 active), it's trivial to killit.		                                        ...Jim Thompson-- | James E.Thompson, CTO                            |    mens     || Analog Innovations, Inc.                         |     et      || Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems  |    manus    || Phoenix, Arizona  85048    Skype: Contacts Only  |             || Voice:(480)460-2350  Fax: Available upon request |  Brass Rat  || E-mail Icon at  |    1962     |             I love to cook with wine.

Jim Thompson · Answer

I had _zero_ noise level, because I used that address only forLTspice, then boom... the barrage hit... mostly in Chinese characters.So I changed the address and I'm back to zero noise.		                                        ...Jim Thompson-- | James E.Thompson, CTO                            |    mens     || Analog Innovations, Inc.                         |     et      || Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems  |    manus    || Phoenix, Arizona  85048    Skype: Contacts Only  |             || Voice:(480)460-2350  Fax: Available upon request |  Brass Rat  || E-mail Icon at  |    1962     |             I love to cook with wine.
