New spam

[#1]

I have suddenly started getting spam to my Plus Net email address. I barely even use the address and have never had a problem with spam because I am careful with my addreses.
Anyone else having a problem? Has there been another leak of Plus Net email addresses?

Don`t spread my email addy about much.... but can`t remember the last "spam" message I had,..... seems like it must be at least 2 years ago !....
(my missus gets loads, cos she signs up to all these survey and holiday places ! ! !)....
takes me ages to dump them once a month....no telling her why or how to stop them, I think she revels in the number of messages she gets ! ! ! .

My PlusNet email is about 2 weeks old so no spam as yet, however I use my domain name for my e-mail with a catch all setting so I get a load of automated spam that is getting sent out through a load of random usernames (for example: 12345@yoursite.co.uk, anynamehere@yoursite.co.uk) which all arrives at my e-mail address but my e-mail provider has a good spam filter so it doesn't bother me much.
@shutter: my wife is the same, it doesn't seem to matter that half the messages are from African Royalty

I don't like spam filters as I have found that they randomly block important email. If I need to enter an email address in a site I am not sure about I will use my Hotmail address as it was destroyed with spam many years ago and is now not used for anything else.
The time that the Plus Net email addresses were leaked, mine thankfully was not affected. However another mailbox I had set up on my Plus Net account was destroyed. Luckily it was only used to forward mail through from a seperate domain name so I was able to change the Plus Net mailbox without changing the actual email address.

I use a second account as well for sites that I'm not sure about, thank god for free email providers 
I'm new to PlusNet and never realised that the addresses had ever been leaked, hopefully it wont happen again

It was a security breach a while back that Plus Net apologized profusely for.

[#7]

Free internet for a month for everyone affected would have made a much better apology 

[#8]

We offered everyone a free domain...

[#9]

A free .uk or .me domain, mine is now a very good one just christiansurname.me.uk  , the PN e-mail and browser recognize the new and old name and go to the same address,  the Web stats list old and new on different.
That was only to the people affected by the Address Book Hacking

The security breach was rather alarming at the time, but a nice spin-off was getting the free domain names.
I managed to get a really nice one (to me) and was glad of it because I didn't like my username one at all.
Using the alias facility and being very, very careful I haven't had any significant spam since then (touch wood).
Just had a bit a few months ago  - it was a problem with the catchall setting on my mailbox. It seemed to switch itself back on very briefly  but PN fixed it immediately.
