I had an email address ([EMAIL PROTECTED] no longer have mediacom so I bet it doesn't matter anymore) and when I checked it nearly a year later..it was full of everything from trojans to sexual content (AVG had a field day cleaning out that inbox)
So yea, if your email address is something common, usually containing your name, it can be an easy target somehow. Thats why its recommened to throw a number in your email address if it contains your name. --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have an ameritech.net e-mail address, which has been given out to only 2 > people.
