I just ran a quick analysis on over 56,000 spam messages. There were 26 messages to acunetix.com@mydomain.com. I have been using yourdomain@mydomain.com addresses since 1996. Acunetix is the first company that has leaked my address in years. I think the last leak was 2002. If Acunetix is denying it, I think they must be dirty. Me four.

The exact same problem. I have a formula for all sites shops-SITENAME@mydomain.com and I am getting spammed like crazy on shops-acunteix.com@mydomain.com When I contacted Acunetix, they claim it's impossible, that someone guessed the unique address. Me three.

I have started getting a fair amount of spam to acunetix.com@MyDomain.com. This isn't the first time someone has leaked my email address but when I email them they generally own up to getting hacked. There is a lot of malware available that harvests email addresses. It could be that someone with our addresses on their local computer got infected. Oe they could have gotten hacked. They made some pretty dramatic claims about web security a while back. That might have attracted a black hat or two. It would be pretty embarrassing to admit that they got hacked themselves, especially if it was through a web vulnerability :-) Dan Me too.
