I set up an Email account some time ago when, unknown to me then, I had a virus and it spied me setting up this address. Following that the address got bombarded with all smutty spam and ads for viagra etc.
Two weeks ago I got around to changing the address (the ISP let's you do that now) and since then no more smut. However, yesterday I got one of those African "help me get my money" emails for some Nigerian pillock.
WHERE did he get my address from? I haven't used it or passed it to anyone. I don't have viruses now. It's such an unusual address, you would never guess it in a million years.
Is someone at my ISP selling on lists of email addresses?
