I know there are a bunch of these enjoy sochi sending 1 satoshi, but this is the  "Play and win" address.  Literally 25 minutes after I created a new address at an exchange the address got this 1 satoshi deposit (unconfirmed) which I assume will be a double spend.  My question is HOW could they have known about this address that I literally just created?  

EDIT:  I sent .25 btc to the address via bitbook.biz 25 minutes before they did the 1 satoshi.  Do they have a script or something that sends the 1 satoshi to any address that does a transaction, and they check via blockchain?  This is ridiculous!

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

It makes sense to target recently used addresses. The owner of such addresses will be paying attention to the balance so he'll notice the advertisements.
