Q: Spam Increase after Spammer attack?

Has anyone else noticed an increase in Spam in their email that's used for your Echinacities account?

Since the "Spam" attack, my Gmail account has an unprecedented amount of Spam.

I've always had a ton of spam but it all gets filtered into junk anyway so I'm fine with that.  My spam appears to be from all the same places it usually comes from..

It sounds like the spam is not connected with this site. I also have not had any spam. Working with online advertisement in the past I can tell you when you registered for something recently that website has sold your email along with others probably. Nothing you can do about it now.

Thanks for the answers.

My Gmail account usually only gets one spam email per month (automatically filtered). After this site was spammed, suddenly I get 8-10 spam mails per day from the same source (still filtered).

I was just wondering as I have not posted my email address anywhere else recently and I was just trying to ascertain whether this site was breached or just a coincidence.

 

Thanks again, all.

Actually yes....

More that the usual "Help me with funds" ones.

Noticed strange I-N-C-R-E-A-S-E -Y-O-U-R- P-E-N-I-S mails

 

Can't be bothered with that nonsense or I'd be grinding up Tigers and mixing them with Jinjiu.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
