Bitcoin Forum

Recently was the attack on bitcointalk.org.

At same time, started receiving vague threats in email.  Message headers have not information to identify threatener. 

Now am being phished at, and often, by someone knows my address book contacts.  Spam filter before attack caught 150 or so spam a day; now catches 1500.  More getting through, too.  Legitimate mail sometimes getting caught in filter, hard to find in flood.

Anyone else experience this?  Or am I special?

Not sure if related, but somehow my Chrome homepage keeps reverting to SA, when I haven't been to that site in months. My normal homepage is Google News.

I wasn't online at the time of the attack but I don't think the payload had anything that could do something of that sort
You could check with theymos but maybe clear your cache logs but since it is an e-mail no clue how to fix it

if they extracted all email addresses from the db, it's more than possible. maybe they sold the addresses

o.O My email address has been public for years, and I still only get ~50 per day. No change since BTCTalk compromise exploited.

Since the downtime, someone's been very keen to get in to my iCloud account - I'm getting iForgot password reset emails by the dozen.  It's getting on my tits.

Well, my email is due a change anyway. Although, I do use a unique email only for this forum. But, I tend to change it every so often because I have the notifications email when someone replies in a thread that I have posted in and I am too lazy to delete all the emails. Also, I'm too lazy to disable that feature.

Not a single email. I use a unique email address for this forum.

no problems here!
