While we all know what spam is, has it ever occurred to you that the spam you're receiving isn't actually sent by the company that's mentioned?

I just read about SpeedBoink.com on AVN, encountering this on a massive level and how they intend on catching the perpetrators responsible for sending out thousands of emails with generic type in links to SpeedBoink.com among other things.

So this got me wondering, have you ever had your email hacked? I personally haven't but I've had several people in the past send me crazy emails and I've hit them up saying "wtf is up with that?" only to learn that the email wasn't sent out by them and that their email account had been hacked.

There are other instances where it's not so much the email itself that's been hacked but where the contents of the email is spamming you much like what's happening to SpeedBoink.com, to whom of which I give props for publicly acknowledging and apologizing to those effected by the DDoS spam attacks they are fighting.

It sucks to know that this could happen to any one of us but we can show support and assist those who take action in effort to put a stop to it and prevent it from happening to others hence why I wanted to point out this topic of discussion.

So tell me......
Have you had your email hacked before?

I'm just curious to hear what others have experienced and what better place to do so than on GFY.
