Barbarian Hits Database Compromise

Every TE I use gets a unique e-mail address assigned to it. The address I am using for Barbarian Hits is getting a bunch of spam sent to it. I had to change the e-mail address I am using here.

Given that the only people that know the e-mail address I am using with Barbarian Hits is me and them I can only assume it is their database that has been compromised and my e-mail address has been leaked out. There is a chance Barbarian Hits has sold or given my e-mail address to a third party.

I have over 300 e-mail addresses and only a very few are getting spam sent to them. So, I know the problem is not on my side of the Internet.

Take Care,
Phil
