This is the first I've heard of it - I've not received any spam beyond the "normal" ones I get each week.

Someone's email account may have been hijacked. One of the latest tricks is to hijack an account and pick an email address from the address book. then they send the email using the person's name and the stolen email address, so they really don't match.

    I wonder why nothing was said. It is just annoying, I had 1009
    then I got spammed with them again while I was removing them and
    got about 500 more, so they are still out there.  I had to do them
    one by one, as I had e-mail in between them.  I have now marked
    them spam and I have 916 in my spam folder LOL!

    You don't use a password with for legacyusergroup.

    Great silence from Legacy regarding this breach of THEIR address,
    though.

    You better start changing your PW for many of your accounts.

        The spammer has upped his game. Now I am receiving emails from
        him that say that my order has been accepted, and he gives me
        a link to click if I want to cancel.

        Yeah, riiiiight.  Like I'm going to click on a suspect link in
        an email.

            Over the last few days, I have been getting lots of
            e-mails, apparently
            from legacyusergroup, all junk mail. In a period of just
            three minutes
            today, I have received 945! They clearly have nothing to
            do with Legacy
            or legacy groups. Has anyone else been experiencing this
            or similar? The
            address is one I only use for reputable mailing lists like
            this, so I
            wonder if there has been some kind of compromising going
            on, and felt it
            might be worth mentioning here.


            Kind regards,
            Alex
