Clicks A GoGo Database Compromise

Every TE I use gets a unique e-mail address assigned to it. The address I am using for Clicks A GoGo 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 Clicks A GoGo 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 Clicks A GoGo 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.

Note: Even though I changed my e-mail address i am still waiting for the confirmation e-mail 20 minutes later. ARRRRGH! Why Can’t TE’s just use their own server for e-mail distribution? It would take care of a whole bunch of problems.

Take Care,
Phil
