I only use this email addy on this site and I have been getting heaps of virus, spam, phishing emails.
The site has been hacked a few times but Theymos swears the hacker could not of gotten the email list, even though they had access to the backend for like 6 months........... Interesting ay.

How come they got your e-mail?

The email addresses must of got leaked if this is the only place you use the email and are getting Bitcoin spam and virus emails.
That's sad, I thought there weren't issues like this on this forum.

I believe the forums were hacked into sometime last year and a database of emails was leaked. It was around the same time the ability to change one's own avatar was disabled.
