Yeah it's a bit of a pisser if your main important email address gets caught up in this, easy if it's one you can bin - of course I binned my whois address and the got a phishing expedition saying my whois details were wrong. I wonder how many people are now on spam blacklists now.

I am also receiving these spam messages. What a pain. It’s interesting though, to google the email address of the distribution list and see the variety of people that are being affected.

the only problem is that mine is a business email account. It has been hell getting tons of pissed off emails every day. Sightly amusing but this guy needs to rot in hell.

I’m glad you blogged about it! I have been getting all kinds of RE’s about it and I can’t see my own address anywhere. They are all sent to info@worldswidedomainname.com. I was beginning to think my email had been hacked into somehow. A funny post would be a collection of all the comments people make in their replies. I have read more foul language over the last 2 days to last me a lifetime.

Quite right…

I just have lots of forwarders into two accounts – then I can “burn” one if it’s gets spammed too badly or sold…

My wife just looks at me when filling in forms – “Which address shall I put?” I’m sure people think I’ve got several houses!!!

Yes it is handy to have different emails so you know where it’s coming from and can shut it down, only problem is you then end up with half a ton of them.

Thanks for the link, this certainly seems a time to educate people to use different email addresses for different things! That way you can shut it off if you need to for a period of time
