Re: [PSES] phishing e-mail from an old account of yours?
I got one, an extortion email, using an ancient ID and password from a Netscape account, how long ago? Like AOL is secure ? Don't they own the old Netscape?But the amazing aspect is that it came to my less than year old Corp email ID. My guess is that not only has some old database been hacked, for ID and password, but also google or whatever is tracking and matching ID's all over the internet.How to connect an over 15 year old defunct account to a brand new ID on a Corp account is a mystery. It appears to be bot driven, as each week I get the same from a different sender.

Re: [PSES] phishing e-mail from an old account of yours?
Colleagues, No website breaches or mail account hacking is required for these kinds of scams. All someone needs is to scrape your email address from a public website (think LinkedIn, but a corporate site can be it too). Once you have that it’s a pretty easy job to spoof someone’s email.

Re: [PSES] phishing e-mail from an old account of yours?
I've had several probably "nasty" emails from sources that appeared to have spoofed some of the email addresses used by myself and several people that I know, but please don't confuse me with John R Allen of Product Safety Inc. FWIW, I don't think the data breach in question was specific to UK email addresses because there was a huge one a few months ago of a web address data base on a particular website. John E Allen W.
