Information Receiving Spam mail to an alias address only used to sign-in to this forum.
#1
I have gotten into the habit of creating separate aliases for forum login purposes.
I have done the same here within the last 6 months.
I just received a typical 'Nigerian Prince' scam email that used the address only used on this site, nowhere else.
This time, it was not a Nigerian prince but the grand-daughter of Late Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
The originator was AISHA GADDAFI <[email protected]>
Note that my username was MiamiBlues and nowhere was the rest of the email address listed for the public to view.
I have since disabled that alias.
This is a bit concerning as I thought security had been tightened since the last major issue.

Thanks Lunatixz, I had just left as A MOD on this site when it happened.
That's the point though, this email alias was created after the site had been restored.
