Movie Junkie Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 (edited) I received seven pieces of spam today all of them through the keyed email address I gave to Image Shack. I just tried to go there and found that it's not there. I don't know if it was hacked, shutdown or whatever but I do know that you will probably going to get spammed. I have just shut down the keyed address. Now everything going to it will bounce. It now seems that the site is back up. I will not, however, activate the key again. Edited May 4, 2006 by Movie Junkie
dbminter Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Probably data mined. The service was sold to someone else and they received the registered users information as assets and then sold them to a spammer's list, maybe?
lfcrule1972 Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 I have never given an e-mail address to image shack......

Oh well...they'll never get throught to my email again.
Movie Junkie Posted May 6, 2006 Author Posted May 6, 2006 I have never given an e-mail address to image shack......I had to give one when I registered. If I remember correctly you didn't have to register unless you wanted access to the pictures you uploaded.
