Yup - I just bin them - this one just raised my curiosity about the password they had got hold of. Filefront closed 9 years ago - I've been using this anti-spam webmail address since about 2005.
I found a couple of posts on other forums from 2009 by people who suspected Filefront had been hacked - but nothing definite.
I always use different passwords, anyway and since a few months, I've been using KeePassXC to generate them. According to haveibeenpwned, that email address has been on about 9 different spammer lists for some time. Like I said - that's actually what i have it for, and I recommend everyone has one for this purpose.
I signed up to channel 4's catch up service about two weeks ago and have had huge amounts of spam since - all on that webmail address. I'm not concerned - none of the info I gave on the registration form (which includes all your personal details, including date of birth etc) is true, so wtf :smiley:
Used to use a redirecting service (still do for amateur radio contacts, but rarely use that these days) but I got fed up of having to keep resigning up every time I reinstalled windows.
