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.
