Chinese email spam

[zappaDPJ]

Some while ago I started to get the odd phishing mail in Chinese. I now get close to a hundred a day. Anyone else?

Nope.  Luckily I seem to have escaped that one.

Not for a long time Zap.  I reckon they have you in their sights.   

[zappaDPJ]

I think you are right Clive.

Have you anything like a netcam on your system which requires an account or log-in?  That could be a route for the Chinese equipment suppliers to get hold of your address and sell it on.

I don't have anything of that nature but I do know my PII including my email address has been subject to a hack in the dim and distant past when both Adobe and vBulletin were hacked. I used to get a lot of spam in Arabic and spam in general but it gradually stopped. The current spam is probably as a result of that but I wanted to check that it wasn't Idnet's domain that's being targeted.
