    CNN Spam E-mail from Stolen NATS List Makes CNN.com

    I think this was mentioned in another thread, but pretty much every e-mail I ever used signing up for NATS has been getting bombarded with the CNN Daily Top 10 e-mail. Must be a big thing because it's on CNN.com.

        What does it have to do with Nats? I've received those emails at just about every email address I have, adult and non adult.

            whoever these people are they either have big balls or incredibly stupid - they've been sending hundreds of millions of spam emails which are linked to nasty executable files as if they were coming from Microsoft and CNN - I am sure millions of naive surfers are clicking on those links.

                                The person who started this thread should post proof or be banned. That email has nothing to do with Nats. I am getting it on plenty of email addresses which I have never used with Nats.

                                  i can say that email addresses that only exist in NATS databases are various programs were hit. there for the email addresses(at least partially) came from hacked databases running the nats software.

                                  there are many many programs profitting from this data as well. dont just jump TMM's shit people.

                                    1 That article does not mention anything about NATS.

                                    2 I'm getting hundreds of those emails to addresses that I've never used to sign up with NATS or any other program.

                                      Yep, the email i'm getting hit with is used only for NATS sponsors. Now maybe this ain't a proof but between you and me

                                        I've never used a program with nats and yet I get the email spams to all of my addresses.

                                        Connection = non-existant (IMHO).

                                                Why would you point a finger at NATS? I'm getting those spams in just about ever email address I have, including things that have nothing to do with adult biz. I'm even getting them to my ISP email account which has never been used for anything at all, never mind signing up for a NATS program.

                                                Totally uncalled for man.

                                                      Jumping to conclusions. Everyone on planet earth has received the CNN spam, i surely would not be happy about this thread if i were in nats' shoes.

I'm getting those spams in just about ever email address I have, including things that have nothing to do with adult biz. I'm even getting them to my ISP email account which has never been used for anything at all, never mind signing up for a NATS program.

                                                            Totally uncalled for man.
                                                            The only e-mail addresses I'm getting them to are the ones I used when signing up for NATS programs. It also isn't a basic e-mail. It's [email protected]. These e-mails have not been used for any other sponsor. I'm getting them on close to 15 NATS sponsor e-mails. So either all 15 of those companies sold my e-mail address to the same guy, or they were part of the compromised e-mail addresses that were stolen during the security breach.

                                                            And just because you get them at other e-mail addresses doesn't mean that these didn't come from the breach. My guess is that the guys doing this have many lists of e-mail addresses. I'd also imagine the NATS stolen e-mail addresses have been sold over and over again to different spammers.

                                                            This wasn't a knock on NATS, they aren't the ones doing it. But those e-mail addresses are the ones being hammered right now on my end.

                                                                                          I am sure you are correct. Spammers like that buy lists from multiple sources. I apologize if the title is misleading (someone can feel free to change it). But I noticed that almost all the CNN spam was coming through my original NATS e-mail addresses that no one in their right mind could figure out without some sort of access.

                                                                                          It wasn't meant as a knock on NATS, they run the best software out there in my opinion. They have admitted that e-mail lists were stolen awhile back, and I don't see why it's so far fetched to believe that these spammers have somehow bought those lists of the hackers. I am kind of surprised that this has garnered so much confusion since I thought the data leak was pretty well hashed out on the forums over the past months.

I apologize if the title is misleading (someone can feel free to change it). But I noticed that almost all the CNN spam was coming through my original NATS e-mail addresses that no one in their right mind could figure out without some sort of access.

                                                                                              It wasn't meant as a knock on NATS, they run the best software out there in my opinion. They have admitted that e-mail lists were stolen awhile back, and I don't see why it's so far fetched to believe that these spammers have somehow bought those lists of the hackers. I am kind of surprised that this has garnered so much confusion since I thought the data leak was pretty well hashed out on the forums over the past months.
