Spamocalypse 2010

A terribly eager spam-virus has infected one of my email accounts (the old hotmail one) and keeps sending a gazillion viagra spam mails to EVERYONE on my contact list every day. Friends, co-workers, bosses, ex-teachers, yahoo groups and god knows who else. People who haven't heard from me in years suddenly get reacquainted through spam! I deleted the account - hopefully that should make it stop - but in the meanwhile every friend I have sends me panicked "OMG did you know you had a virus?!" mails to my gmail account. And this *after* I've mailed everyone to tell them not to open these mails. It's the spam gift that keeps on giving.

Ich mein, ich hatte die letzten 8 Monate oder so Tonnen von spam emails von fandom Freunden , deren alte hotmail/yahoo/aol Adressen als Absender gehijacked wurden, dass ich es aufgegeben habe, denen info emails zu schicken...
und sorry, aber deinen alten account zu löschen hilft nicht, da ich stark vermute alle diese accounts wurden nicht real gehacked, sondern eben nur die Adresse als Absender angegeben :(
