Is Craigslist selling e-mail addresses? Anyone think they may have noticed this happen? I realize it might not actually be craigslist, but perhaps a hacker or something. On their website they mention that they do get hacked but they are trying to prevent this from happening. The reason I ask is that I used to rarely get spam at this particular e-mail address. But a while back I responded to an ad about a laptop. All of a sudden I'm getting spam offering me laptops. Coincidence? Perhaps...but I kinda doubt it.
