Re: Coincidence or bold spammer?

I was also spammed.  I find this very unfortunate.  I love this forum for all of the security information that we share 
as fellow professionals in the field.  Why must some individuals take inappropriate advantage of this opportunity for 
all of us to discuss security issues and resolutions by spamming listserv members?  Even as a vendor, I find myself 
disgusted.

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?
