Sign-up for Clearwire, Sign-up for Spam! said by devzero:When I setup my account for clear I created a new email account just for that purpose. I have never used it for anything. Now pretty much daily I get spam sent to that account. I called them and asked why that might be. They told me that someone must have read it out of my browsers's cache. Um yeah. Has this happened to anyone else? Ditto, I have the same situation. I know 100% no one else ever had the email address. I know my systems are not hacked (Linux, with SELinux, IPTables, RKHunter, chkrootkit, totally locked down). So, one of three things occurred:
1. Clearwire sold/gave out my email address.
2. Clearwire's database was hacked or has bad employees pulling an inside job culling customer email addresses to sell.
3. Someone between Clearwire's MX and my MX (Colocated) there is someone packet capturing and harvesting email addresses to sell.
Option 3 doesn't follow (unless it is occuring on Clearwire's side of the internet), because I don't have this problem with any of my other custom email aliases.
I'm not sure, but Clearwire did cop to having an opt-out list, which I am supposedly on now. See my chat lots with their customer service:
