Re: BitcoinTalk phishing scam!

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.

Since these guys did the same thing with Coindesk (look here) I still can't believe they actually have my email. Like I said they sent it to an email address that doesn't even exist and I just captured it on the way.

Good to know anyway. Luckily I only use my mail for this forum.
