Spam to my LiveJournal address (from "Sky")

[pne]

I just received my first spam to my LiveJournal email address. *sigh*

Edit: Apparently, a bunch of LiveJournal users have received the same spam. The one I got was from "Sky" <sky@msn.com> and was entitled "hey its sky FREE STUFF LOOK MAN".

If it was from "Sky," I think a large percentage of LJ did. I got it at both my own address (jerzeegrrl) and for lj_espanol (being a permanent community, lj_espanol@REMOVE.livejournal.com is a valid address).

"Sky" spam

It was indeed.

Thanks for mentioning your experience as well. At least that means he wasn't targetting me specifically and I don't have to look so hard for places where my address could have leaked.

I wonder where they did get it from, then--scraping userinfo pages?

me too

I got one too. I thought it was from Sky (http://www.deadjournal.com/users/lone_fox/) from DJ.. but it wasn't.

My first thought was Arthur Bergmann (http://use.perl.org/~sky/), whose IRC nick is 'sky', though I only thought that briefly since the subject seemed incongruous.

*shrug* Yeah, the LJ address spam is annoying, but it's neat that I'm usually in a CC list with others, so it's kinda like getting "recommendations" on other journals to check out =)
