Anybody been receiving a higher volume of spam since the site was hacked?

I've been getting all sorts of cack with my email address as the sender.

I too have been getting the same volume in spam from 'myself' as i have from 'Twinky Alvarez' and other comedy names. And only this last three days or so.

But i used to get them all the time a year or so ago. Could just be coincidence and someone else using thie christmas holidays to set up some new stuff.

Strangely, I can't get intyo evilzone this morning to see what they are chittering about. Coincidence too?

I've found a few things popping up in my spam folder that are from myself, best one yet had the subject line of: "Don't stop at 6 inches. To contact Slaughter Group", I might have to open that one just to see what it's about!

Thanks, guys.

Still paranoid though!

Hmmm

Think I'll contact my ISP tomorrow to see what can be done.

200 emails a day, 198 of them tend to be spam. No change over the past few years though - that's what I get for keeping the same email address for 12 years 🙁

And yes - lots from myself, "no sender" or random gibberish. Good job outlook's spam filter catches most!
