Spam since the EF registration - anyone else?

Hello everyfurry,

First of all, I am not angry, I got an effective spamfilter. But I got also an eMail-adress that is mostly spam-free. I used it to register for the EF and during the last week I started getting more and mroe spam.
I sorted out the places where I recently put my eMail-adress in and it is not alot since I am rather careful. The EF-Registration is one of them. The spam is mostly the gif-spam from the spamthrough-virus.

I know it could be any possible source, so I was wondering if anyone of you is experiencing similar things?

Greetings

Cheetah:
We are definitely NOT telling anybody about your email address. We use your email ONLY to send you EF-Related stuff, such as confirmations and paymentreminders, and the occasional annoucement. Nobody else has access to our database except EF staff.

The spammer probably got your address out of the address book of someone's trojan infected PC ... that's where most of today's spam recipient adresses are harvested from. Possibly even your own ...

Recherei:
I did get one spam in German.  Nothing else.

Tekumseh:
I'm using the same address for EF registration every year (since 4 years now) ... not that I ever noted getting spam derived from that...

K9Primate:
The same here, I never had any spam which could have been even remotely related to EF.
So I think it's purely a coincidence.
