I also have received that email.  

It was coming from "amacojxy@contractor.com", which looks very suspicious to me.  (It all looks like a phishing attack.)

From the email header:

Return-path: <amacojxy@contractor.com>
Received: from [37.218.165.55] (port=10935 helo=contractor.com)

contractor.com  is a domain name registered through GoDaddy in 1999, and hosted at GoDaddy - it doesn't look to be related to CampBX

The IP address the email came from (37.218.165.55) is from Kyrgyzstan.

So that's clearly a phishing attempt.


However, there is an important twist to this plot:

I have received that email to an email address which I used _only_ for CampBX.  (I use distinct email addresses for distinct services/companies, e.g.  "campbx-myusername@mydomain.com"  I do that to track the sources of spam, and to block a specific email address when I start receiving spam through it.)
Only me and CampBX knew that this email address existed.

So CampBX customer's email list _was_ compromised.

It would be great to have a reply or a statement from CampBX regarding that.
Anyone?
