Spammers harvesting addresses from the KDE bug-tracking DB.

Malcolm Ferguson <malc_kde_mailing_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Fri, 13 Feb 2004 11:31:27 -0500

This morning I received spam to an address that I've only ever used in 
conjunction with the KDE bug tracking database.  In fact I only used it 
on one occasion to submit a minor compilation issue.  I'm not sure if 
this list is the right place to bring up this topic, but I would 
appreciate being pointed in the right direction.  Also, let it serve as 
warning or reminder to anybody here that they should seriously consider 
using unique throw-away email aliases/addresses.  For now I've disabled 
the alias that received the spam so any usage in the future will 
bounce.  This is a bit of pain though as I don't want to have to keep 
re-registered with the bug tracking DB.
