Coincidence or bold spammer?

This morning, I received spam inviting me to contribute a technical article
for an alleged 'security' magazine named 'hakin9'. Ordinarily, I would have
Just Hit Delete, but the following paragraph caught my attention.

As you are interested and knowledgeable in IT security matters and you are a
famous persona in IT security community we would be
honoured if you wish to cooperate with us and to write some technical, IT
security related  articles for our magazine.

Did anyone else on this list, particularly anyone who has recently posted to
this list, receive the same spam?
