Yes, hack is the correct term. The bad guys have hacked into the major email systems, including gmail, which was the origin of this spam:

I think you need to do some training:

Sending a link to a web site that plays loud rap music is not a friendly way to make your point.

Subject: [PERFORM] Mailing list hacked by spammer?
I've never gotten a single spam from the Postgres mailing list ... until today.
A Chinese company selling consumer products is using this list. I have my
filters set to automatically trust this list because it has been so reliable
until now. It would be really, really unfortunate if this list fell to the
spammers.
